Goertzel's comment doesn't even make sense to me. Why is he placing 'in a box' in contraposition to 'embedded in the social network'. The two issues are orthogonal. AIs can be social or singleton - either in a box or in the real world. ETA: Well, if you mean the human social network, then I suppose a boxed AI cannot participate. Though I suppose we could let some simulated humans into the box to keep the AI company.

Besides, I've never really considered solipsists to be any more dangerous than anyone else.

We don't have any half-decent simulated humans, though.
