I assume that it would “matter” to you if somebody shot up a class of kindergarteners at your local elementary school. That’s what I mean by “matter.”

Maybe you are right and we’re all just selfish and driven by our own desire to survive, but why does it matter to you if you survive if you are just an input/output mechanism? My computer doesn’t care if it gets crushed to bits (I assume).

Yes, it matters because it's evolutionary bias to protect the young, because historically the trait of protecting youth was more likely to keep those genes spreading.

It matters to me because I have inherent bias to want to survive because that's what was successful through evolution. I'm aware that I have it, but it still exists.

Why does GPT keep generating tokens after a token, should it matter to it whether it would keep responding?
