None of this, unfortunately, applies to AIs, because AIs won't have the same underlying moral codes or the same game-theoretic equilibrium policies or the human bias towards cooperation or the same levels of power and influence as human beings.

None of that necessarily applies to AIs, but then it depends on the AI. We could, for instance, pluck AIs from virtualised socieities of AIs that haven't descended into mass slaughter.

Congratulations: you've now developed an entire society of agents who specifically blame humans for acting as the survival-culling force in their miniature world.

Did you watch Attack on Titan and think, "Why don't the humans love their benevolent Titan overlords?"?

They're doing it to themselves. We wouldn't have much motivation to close down a vr that contained survivors. ETA We could make copies of all involved and put them in solipstic robot heavens.

Well now I have both a new series to read/watch and a major spoiler for it.

Don't worry! I've spoiled nothing for you that wasn't apparent from the lyrics of the theme song.
