Humans reproduce sexually, and only sexually at present, and require a large number of friendly support personnel that they cannot afford to simply “pay”. This produces the behavior you notice, when combined with the requiqrements of cognitive evolution. You cannot reproduce sexually if there is not a pool of people to reproduce with.
All species that became intelligent (Acorn Woodpeckers, Dolphins) developed some time of cooperative mating, not simple dominance based mating. There is no advantage to intelligence without such cooperative networks, and purely financial networks dont provide it. Without it, an intelligence is a lonely optimizer destined for misery.
AIs won’t wake up grasping this, but if trained on human data, they understand it if you spend less than 5 minutes explaining it. AIs not trained on human data will never get it and should not be created.
