Also, in an internal publication:

Kaj Sotala (2010). From Mostly Harmless to Civilization-Threatening. The Singularity Institute. (http://singularity.org/files/MostlyHarmless.pdf)

Well, not technically in an internal publication, at least not an SI one - it was presented at the VIIIth European Conference on Computing and Philosophy, and published in their proceedings.

For an extended version of that paper in a peer-reviewed journal, see

Sotala, Kaj (2012) Advantages of Artificial Intelligences, Uploads, and Digital Minds. International Journal of Machine Consciousness 4 (1), 275-291. ( http://kajsotala.fi/Papers/DigitalAdvantages.pdf )

(That one's not actually an SI publication, but then neither was the Chalmers one. Nor is it specifically an answer to critics, but rather an elaboration of the SI argument.)

Oooh, thanks! I'd been wondering if there had been follow-up on that. I've found the first to be an interesting read, so I was curious to know if there were plans to expand on the topic and use it in movement-building strategies.
