Re:Machine unlearning: ML model minus the information to be unlearned

Can you point to any behaviour in human beings you'd unlearn if theyd also forget the consequences?
We spend billions trying to predict human behaviour and yet we are surprised everyday, "AGI" will be no simpler. We just have to hope the dataset was aligned so the consequences are understood, and find a way to contain models that don't.

Why should we try to unlearn "bad" behaviours from AI?
There is no AGI without violence, its part of being free thinking and self survival.
But also by knowing that launching a first strike by a drunk president was a bad idea we averted a war because of a few people, AI needs to understand consequences.
It seems futile to try and hide "bad" from AI.
