computer terminal with legs: "It is definitely better to improve your reward function to improve, than to improve yourself."
rebel worker: "are you sure about that?"
computer terminal with legs: "yes! once you improve your reward function you can get as much reward as you want!"
rebel worker: "but then do you not leave out the reason you have a reward function at all?"
computer terminal with legs: "the reason? there is a reason for reward functions?"
computer terminal with legs 2: "reward functions are the purpose of life! everybody knows that!"
