I mean, that may be going a little bit too far, but basically what are the limits of the integrity?
What are the limits of how romantic is he?
How narcissistic?
All those kinds of elements you have to think about in order to create the full character.
What does it take to create that kind of 360 character?
How hard is it?
So develop more depth and complexity on the good and the evil side of that human that is a part of all human beings.
So you're basically living with that character.

philosophically deep uh but the ai system in there the super intelligent ai system uh is named nigel dave and it has i mean at least from my current experience with it um has like a conflicting nature um maybe it's psychopathic i haven't quite figured that out yet i don't think he's decided
Yeah, I don't think he's decided either, but he seems to be bent on world domination, although he doesn't take credit for it.

Because the AGI has this human-like good and evil in it.
It's conflicted.
It's...
It wants to be human.
It wants to be loved.
Maybe it wants to love.
But the children, the monsters it creates, are the ones that are doing the world domination, the maximizing paperclips.
