Luke, as an intermediate step before writing a book you should write a book chapter for Springer's upcoming edited volume on the Singularity Hypothesis. http://singularityhypothesis.blogspot.com/p/about-singularity-hypothesis.html I'm not sure how biased they are against non-academics... probably depends on how many submissions they get.

Maybe email Louie and me and we can brainstorm about topics; meta-ethics might not be the best thing compared to something like making an argument about how we need to solve all of philosophy in order to safely build AI.

I know the individuals involved. They are not biased against non-academics and would welcome a well-thought-out contribution from anyone. You could easily have a suitable abstract ready by March 1st (two weeks early) if you believed that it was important enough -- and I would strongly urge you to do so.

Thanks for this input. I'm currently devoting all my spare time to research on a paper for this volume so that I can hopefully have an extended abstract ready by March 15th.
