I downvoted you for suggesting in public that the SIAI kill people. Even if that's a good idea, which it probably isn't, the negative PR and subsequent loss of funding from being seen talking about it is such a bad idea that you should definitely not be talking about it on a public website. If you really want the SIAI to kill people, PM or email either 1) the people who would actually be able to make that change to SIAI policy, or 2) people you think might be sympathetic to your position (to have more support when you suggest 1).

I'm not seriously suggesting that. Also, I am just some internet random and not affiliated with the SIAI.

I think my key point is that the dynamics of society are going to militate against deploying Friendly AI, even if it is shown to be possible. If I do a next draft I will drop the silly assassination point in favour of tracking AGI projects and lobbying to get them defunded if they look dangerous.

I'm not seriously suggesting that.

I would not make non serious suggestions in a post titled "My True Rejection".
