Like, right, right now, if I’m in a really good mood, I take everything blissfully and calmly. If I’m in a bad mood and someone points out something I did that was wrong or stupid, like there’s some anger that rises up inside me, I’m like, “f*** you. Why are you saying that?” I mean, I just tamp that down and let that like flow pass before it takes of me because I’m 56 years old, I’m not five years old, right? But, but we all, we all have that, right? I mean, we evolve with that. You don’t have to program that into the AI, right? We, we should not do so. Now we could, if you want to build military robots and if you’re building like a corporate sales AI, you may build into it that his motivation is “haha I figured out how to extract all this guy’s money by selling him crap he doesn’t need.” I mean, you could build AI with that motivation, but we don’t have to, we could build an AGI with a motivational system to like do, do what the average person would think is the most beneficial, loving, and compassionate thing in this situation.
