Hah. Lets consider some means of how to get an AI to generate its own
'desires'.
First, lets look at how humans do this:
a) patterning on those who spend the most time with us, they become the

b) patterning on those who we determine state the most 'truth' and have
the highest trust ratings with us.
c) patterning on perceptions of beauty (what is beauty?)
