As far as I understand, the SIAI folks believe that the risk is, "you push the Enter key, your algorithm goes online, bootstraps itself to transhuman superintelligence, and eats the Earth with nanotechnology" (nanotech is just one possibility among many, of course). I personally don't believe we're in any danger of that happening any time soon, but these guys do. They have made it their mission in life to prevent this scenario from happening. Their mission and yours appear to be in conflict.
