Right she will not distract the Fast Alien then!  And - have they not worked out utility functions here?  Wow that's really low math.  She's specialized in a field with very little specialized math but she knows the universal basics.  If they name theorems after people here, she will get all of the theorems named after her.

:Put the psionic raincoat on me, then, I guess!  And, uh, inverting your utility function is a colloquialism, it's like - imagine that you wanted things coherently - and then suddenly you wanted all of the opposite things instead.  It's more or less among the obvious worst things that for all I know could happen by accident if somebody started doing weird things to my head, reversing everything I thought was good or bad.  Also, if nobody here knows what a 'utility function' is - and it's really the sort of thing where, once one person figures it out, everybody ends up knowing it - then I have a lot of super valuable basic mathematical knowledge to give you all.  Like, the kind of knowledge where a 0.1% patentgratuity means I end up personally owning 0.01% of this whole world's economy.:
