Saving energy is something we are biologically trained to prefer.

Computers won’t necessarily have the same drivers.

If evolution wanted us to always prefer to spend energy, we would prefer it. Same way you wouldn’t expect us to get to AGI, and have AGI desperately want to drink water or fly south for the winter.

Who's energy? Turning off the lights when you leave the room isn't innate.
Because you are worried about bills or are concerned about waste.

If we design an AI to do work, it won’t innately care about not working to preserve power.
