You know, Eliezer, sometimes that's the way things like the Friendly AI effort (and Alcor, and a few other things) strike me.
I want to believe.
Does that make me as gullible as Joseph, or as opportunistic as the Rabbi?
As gullible as Joseph, unless you profit by it somehow, in which case you would be as opportunistic as the Rabbi.
But there are much nicer things to believe in than Friendly AI or Alcor. Why not believe you'll go to heaven regardless, and trump mere FAI and mere cryonics combined, so long as you're believing things you want to believe?
