Why would a dumb 'minimize blue' robot search for blue things?
Current condition: I see no blue things.
Expected result of searching for blue things: There are more blue things.
Expected result of not searching for blue things: There are no blue things.
Where 'blue' is defined as 'eliciting a defined response from the camera'. Nothing outside the view of the camera is blue by that definition.
...and a sufficiently non-dumb 'minimize blue' robot using that definition would disconnect its own camera.
Right. If we want anthropomorphic behavior, we need to have multiple motivations.
