And that's why it's so important to distinguish a judgment that an AGI is unFriendly from a hasty, racist assumption about how a different kind of intelligent being might want to act. Just because a being doesn't want to combine some of its macromolecules with other versions of itself doesn't mean it's okay to be racist against it.

Anyone here know anybody like that?

I have never been sexually attracted to any entity or trait, real or fictional. People generally aren't bigoted against me-- the worst I've seen is people treating me like an interesting novelty, which can be somewhat condescending. So there is hope for those with nonstandard goals, at least on some level! :)
