>Most people endorse some form of 'eugenics'
No, they don't. It is akin to saying "most people endorse some form of 'communism'." We can point to a lot of overlap between theoretical communism and values that most people endorse; this doesn't mean that people endorse communism. That's because communism covers a lot more stuff, including a lot of historical examples and some related atrocities. Eugenics similarly covers a lot of historical examples, including some atrocities (not only in fascist countries), and this is what the term means to most people - and hence, in practice, what the term means.
Many people endorse screening embryos for genetic abnormalities. The same people would respond angrily if you said they endorsed eugenics; the same way that people who endorse minimum wages would respond angrily if you said they endorsed communism. Eugenics is evil because it descriptively describes something evil; trying to force it into some other technical meaning is incorrect.
Hey there! It is a risk, but the reward is great :-)
An AI that is aware that value is fragile will behave in a much more cautious way. This gives a different dynamic to the extrapolation process.
I argue that it's entirely the truth, the way that the term is used and understood.
