"Instead, Musk argues that we should be building AGI that comes to the conclusion on its own that humanity is worth nurturing and valuing — paving the way to a future where we live in harmony with superintelligent machines."

I think Musk and I share a similar pro-progress and pro-human worldview that sees humanity as the universe best bet at overcoming Entropy (at least as long as possible). Perhaps if AI learned the value of counterentropic forms, from this base understanding, it would value all life, including human life?
