Patrick,
Thanks. What date did Mr. Yudkowsky rescind that position? Is there a post or statement to that effect somewhere?
According to the homepage, SIAI was founded in 2000. Was that the SIAI position at the time, and until the rescinding?
I mean, I can guess at the logic that would lead to such a conclusion, but it seems a rather dramatic departure from any prima facie notion of 'friendliness.'

I believe Yudkowsky has fowarded that opinion in a prior era, back around
2000, and has since rescinded his position to a much Friendlier stance that
such an SAI would probably have "bad" i.e. unfriendly programming at its
deeper structure. In other words just because an entity is technically
"smarter" than you by however many orders of magnitude does not make said
entity's statements the word of god, nor its actions ethically justified.
