1) Nice post … IMO the “Human-Like Social Instincts” direction has best odds of success; the notion of making AGIs focused on compassion and unconditional love (understanding these are complex messy human concept-plexes) appears to fall into this category as u loosely define it
2) Of course to make compassionate/loving AGI actually work, one needs a reasonable amount of corrigibility in one’s AGI cognitive architecture, many aspects of which seem independent of whether compassion/love or something quite different is the top-level motivation/inspiration
