Occasionally, I feel like grabbing or creating some sort of general proto-AI (like a neural net, or something) and trying to teach it as much as I can, the goal being for it to end up as intelligent as possible, and possibly even Friendly. I plan to undertake this effort entirely alone, if at all.

Of course, the advantage of "kick the landmine" is that you don't take the rest of the world out in case it wasn't a dud.
