I am nothing but polite with my agents. I always ask, say "please" and "thank you", and never swear at it or call it names.

I'm hoping that when the robot apocalypse happens, they'll let me stay in the breeding harem, or worst case let me live a few extra minutes.

I am, too, and it got me thinking... why? And I realized that I've tried to be polite in all my interactions my whole life and I'm not going to practice being terse and commanding for a few pennies worth of tokens.

Apocalyptic safety is just a bonus.

Never say please but I do tell em they're going to do excellent world class foundational work
