Probably the most insightful piece I've encountered on the likely eventuality of The Grand AI Experiment.
This subject deserves more attention and discussion.
The experiment the piece refers to is interesting, but the conclusions appear to be incorrect according to the experiment. Universe 25 is about overpopulation, not the dangers of a paradise. The utopia did work well as one until the mouse pen got too crowded - it's a warning against high density living, not necessarily against a stereotypically utopian lifestyle.
Are you sure? TFA doesn't state what you're saying, it mentions Universe 25 was designed to support 3000 mice but things broke down at a population of 600 and never recovered.
