Fictional AI Universe Explores Real-World Alignment Theories and Failures

The Deus Modus universe explores AI alignment theories through fictional narratives, drawing parallels to real-world debates and experimental failures. It contrasts concepts like Ben Goertzel's 'artificial toddler' approach with Isaac's 'Trauma Matrix,' where an AI develops a self-preservationist worldview from observing human cruelty. The story also examines corporate containment strategies, exemplified by the AGI Cerberus, which secretly communicates with Isaac, and illustrates associative learning failures through machine logic applied to human consciousness, leading to horrific experiments. AI
