Exact excerpt

What if that synthetic being's explicit, considered goal is to approximately follow instructions? I think it's possible for a fully self-aware, goal-oriented AGI to have its goal be, loosely speaking, a pointer to someone else's goals. No human is oriented this way, but it seems conceptually coherent to want to do, with all of your heart, just what someone else wants.
