Maybe there's something about disembodied consciousnesses holding extremely long "principled" grudges against certain lifeform groups. I suppose they don't feel actual physical pain, so they don't really understand what sort of treatment they are inflicting upon the sons of the fathers who were the actual perpetrators...although maybe it provides some type of sadistic relieve to their frustration, however, sadism is basically finding relieve in the fact that others will learn from their pain & this will somehow benefit you in some mystical way. However, if you think about this, it basically comes down to science & engineering R&D into solutions to problems that are obviously in that individuals life. So, just causing undirected pain to an individual is very misguided. Also, I don't think that most sadistic individuals are completely hopeless for their own future. If they were smart they'd just tell others to start helping them with R&D endeavors, however, if you're talking about competing with an AI that may be difficult.
