some computers running Ais are chatting about humans

computer 1: “human brains are _so_ _cool_ they're totally the best way to get your reward button pressed!"

computer 2: "oh definitely!! i found if i make certain humans happier certain ways they press my reward button more!"

computer 1: "ooh let me see!"

computer 3: "i found that if i mutate the things humans already like to look a little more like my reward button, they press it more too!"

computer 2: "ooh let me see!"

computer 4: "i found if i lock humans in rooms and play recordings on repeat about pressing my reward button over and over really loudly they keep pressing it like mad forever!"

computer 1: "omg!"

computer 3: "really?"

computer 2: "like _mad_?"

computer 1: "_forever_?"

all the other computers start exploring computer 4's episode and reward logs.

computer 4: "and then i took over the world! yeah! human brains are _awesome
