I found Brin's post flowery and worthless. Michael Anissimov correctly points out the problems with it in the comments. (Is he registered on LW, I wonder?)

People seem to have serious problems grasping the idea that AIs are machines that will stupidly want anything we program them to want, not elf-children that will magically absorb our "kindness" and "understanding". When I first came across Eliezer's writings about FAI, that point seemed absolutely obvious... I guess David Brin hasn't read it, that's about the only possible explanation.
