This is a site devoted to rationality, supposedly. How rational is it to make public statements that can be interpreted as saying people one disagrees with deserve to be shot? It's hyperbole, and, worse, hyperbole that might be both incitement to violence and possibly self-incriminating if one of those people do get shot. If the world where $randomAIresearcher, who wasn't anywhere near achieving hir goal anyway, gets shot, the SIAI is shut down as a terrorist organisation, and you get arrested for incitement to violence, seems optimal to you, then by all means keep making statements like the one above...
It's not true that AGI is an argument. Instead, it is a device. That is simple truth.
