The problem is that it really is utter and complete bullshit. I really do think so. On the likelihood to convince: there's the data point: someone called it bullshit. That's probably all the impact that could possibly be made (unless speaking from position of power).

With the technobabble, I do mean as used in science fiction when something has to be explained. Done with great dedication (more along the lines of wiki article I linked).

edit: e.g. you have animalist (desires) based intuition of what AI will want to do - obviously the AI will want to make it's prediction come true in the real world (it well might if it is a mind upload). That doesn't sound very technical. You replace want with 'utility', replace a few other things with technical looking equivalents, and suddenly it sounds technical to such a point that experts don't understand what you are talking about but don't risk assuming that you are talking nonsense rather than badly communicating some sense.
