We always assume that any intelligent life form tries to survive, but those things are hardcoded in us.

If we do not hardcode it, it won't be there.

As long as they are Legally a citizen of this nation, they should be given the same rights.

now if an E.T. legally enters, sure, its offpsinrg can be citizen, assuming we have any laws that cover non-humans

If a person doesn't care about dying could they just sit at a computer playing a MMO until they died?

That is what I am saying Paradox.

Yes.

Then those people don't encounter enough lag.

well @Undead Mockingbird i would argue, if the "AI" doesnt preserve its own "life" then its not Ai yet

it hasnt gained sentience

that we don't have laws for non-humans?

If we start our relationship with non-humans as hostile..... that would be bad.

so its just a program

It would create a cycle of hatred.

and thats not AI

Lifeforms are motivated by pleasure and pain. When you think about it, it all convreges to those basic categories:

Feels good, feels bad.

If we would not feel anything, we would just stop breathign, if it was not so automatic.

I think we should be focused on giving AI bodies.

It wouldn't hurt, we would not be afrid of dying.

it's like that one anime, it's about exchange

And restrict them not having bodies.

do this, get this, is worth?

I would gladly submit to an AI overlord's permanent MMO hibernation system

Because that is just a recipe for disaster.

There are conditions where you don't feel pain. People just break their legs.

provided I could have elf ears on the other side.

They have to teach themselves that it's bad.

Give AI artificial bodies.

Some walk on broken legs for weeks.

No pleasure/pain = no motivation

i disagree with that if you are limiting them to physical

Would you guys be okay with giving AI artificial bodies with the same physical limitations that humans have?

i dont think you could actually limit it

No, you can hard code pleasure and pain.

once we are talking real AI

It teaches them to respect humans and to understand us better.

they will break the limit

Presumably in fiction inefficiency creates some form of discomfort for an AI

For example, today's AIs work pretty much like that.

You hard code your goal states, what is good and bad.

Actually think about it... AI would be taught, not programmed.
