I don’t think these are good analogies for alignment. My parents aligned me as a kid not to hit people, and I know that they could have instead taught me to believe I should duel people who impugn my honor or raise an army to go to war against the heathens. But it doesn’t matter, because I and most people who are raised the same way as me genuinely prefer not to hit people.

It is just happens that whatever your parents aligned you with was also an optimal behavior for the world we live in.
For AGIx27 optimal behavior might be to cull any genetically/physically unfit humans from population (say 95%) and send others to a “zoo” or NVidia fabs or whatever we are useful for.
Like we did to tigers, monkeys and others on our path.
