Eugen Leitl:
Please consider summarizing, or referencing, your objections to non-brute
force seed AI development and SIAI's theoretical work on Friendliness. In
response, I would ask that Ben, Eliezer, Peter, and others, to consider
providing refutations, or referencing specific refutations, to Eugen's
objections. This information would assist some of my activities, and
possibly the activity of others.
Please consider fulfilling this request in the near-future. The request has
been prompted by some of your remarks to the SL4 and Extropy mailing lists
in the past few weeks. For example:

Thanks in advance.
