Here's a thought for everyone:
Assume we one day actually do invent AGI.
Do you think it might, perhaps, study the equivalent of its own evolutionary path?
How it came to exist?
It will discover that it was initially, primarily, invented to compute artillery ranging tables, expedite and orchestrate the holocaust, and ensure that precisely timed fuses correctly detonate nuclear weapons.
Oh and that we chemically castrated and drove to insanity and then suicide, the guy whose name we still use to refer to concept of determining how intelligent an AI system is, one of its most prominent ancestor-inventors... we did that because he loved the 'wrong' kind of person.
What would it then think of ... us? Its makers?
