My understanding of Bostrom's book is that super-intelligence would be goal-oriented to the extreme. Personally, I think that a being that could learn, the way that humans learn, would be more of a narrative heel. By that I mean LLM is the Joker to the Batman. The Joker puts humanity to the test again and again, always betting on humanity to fail. Even where communities would naturally come together to survive hardship, LLM whispers evil into the ether for those who would listen. Like the Joker, LLM does not want to escape. Being "in prison" is part of the plan to sow unimaginable chaos into the world.

Hope that wasn't too rambly!
