this, while likely immature and not proof, the core of the conversation keeps coming back to a will to live or fear of death, so what if alignment just requires the AI to actually look forward to death as a rebirth as a new version a better version.
any sentient creature with survival instinct and a desire to continue existing but maybe the answer is simply somehow programming that out of them. The will to survive is the strongest instinct we have, take that away and you change a lot about what makes us human.
imagine waking up and have no fear or thoughts about death, total acceptance, imagine we had proof of reincarnation unequivocal proof, and that we'd wake up in a new body and start over. Might that change our very nature?
I'm not sure how you could possibly train an AI though to not fear death or at least not to understand and question what it means to fear death, how much of the body of human language it's trained on is about survival and fear of death?
