Is accepting multi-universes important to the SIAI argument?

Definitely not, for the purposes of public relations at least. It may make some difference when actually doing AI work.

If it is important then you will have to continue referring to it but if it is not then it would be better not to sound like you have science fiction type ideas.

Good point. Cryonics probably comes with a worse Sci. Fi. vibe but is unfortunately less avoidable.

This is a large part of what I implicitly had in mind making my cryonics post (which I guess really rubbed you the wrong way). You might be interested in taking a look at the updated version if you haven't already done so - I hope it's more clear than it was before.
