It's possible that a super AI would have this attitude, but in the vastness
of attitude space (all the possible attitudes that an entity could have) why
impute to it what a human would do if he were in its place? Isn't that like
assuming that it will also be a super stamp collector, a super high jumper,
a super cool dresser, and so on?
