I disagree that humans really have a "stable motivational system" or would have to have a much more strict interpretation of that phrase. Overall humans as a society have in general a stable system (discounting war and etc) But as individuals, too many humans are unstable in many small if not

For an AGI it is very important that a motivational system be stable. The AGI should not be able to reprogram it. I believe these are two completely different things. You can never assume an AGI will be unable to reprogram its goal system- while you can be virtually certain an AGI will never
