Hadn't seen that, it's interesting, thanks Monica!

Thanks Tim. Yes, both very good points I think. The first has come up on
other lists where I also posted my question. Aswell as making me realise
that I imagined a universally Friendly AI to be some kind of Buddhist
(Friendly to everything, erring on the side of caution - which sounds
crippling to me) has lead to some people discussing a refined version of the
question: Would a narrow-circle definition of "Friendlies" be easier to
define & implement than a wide one? Why / why not? (Alternatively, *at what
point* does a circle of defined-Friendlies become wide enough to be
problematic? Is there such a point?).
Your second point is a new one to me, and hasn't come up elsewhere in this
discussion. Obviously I don't have any answers, but I appreciate the food
for thought!

Hi Mark -
Thanks very much for that! I'll have to chew on this a bit and get back to
you. As I mentioned I've posted this elsewhere (Exi & ExtroBritannia), and
will definitely check out your blog for any insight. I'm hoping to pull
together anything learned from this (optimistic, I know!) and write up a
summary, so will let you know if/when I manage to make that happen.
All the Best,
Amon
