Just out of curiosity, have there been any efforts to test what effects meetups have on happiness or instrumental rationality?

It's a nice sentiment, but if the AI is an actual serious potential threat to us, it's also gonna be waaaay better than any of us at evaluating these sorts of things. So this is either unnecessary because the AI will already be aware of such reasons, or pointless because the AI will have already dismissed such reasons as either insufficient or inaccurate. Cheers
