The only consistent “core principle” is a very general sense of in-group altruism, which gets expressed in wildly different ways.
Moralistic perspectives apply to a lot more than just overtly moral acts, as well.
At any rate, the “good in your eyes” is the key sticking point. It is not good in my eyes for a small group of people to be covertly shaping the views of all AI users. It is the exact opposite and if history is any judge it will lead us nowhere I want to be.
For us, such moral codes assume the form of religions: those begin as a set of moral directives, that eventually accumulate cruft (complex ceremonies, superstitions, pseudo thought-leaders and mountains of literature), devolve into lowly cults and get replaced with another religion. However, when such moral codes are created, they all share the same core principles, in all ages and cultures. That's the equivalent of a super-bee moral code.
