@Kaj Sotala: I can't - I'm not smart enough :)

But seriously, do you really think that we ought to wait a decade before a brilliant researcher shows up? And it seems all the more suspicious because this brilliant researcher has to read Eliezer's material in a tender age, or else he won't be good enough.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Eliezer's posts here, and I've learned A LOT of stuff. And I also happen to think that he's onto something when he talks about Friendly AI (and AI in general). But I don't see how he can hope to save the world by writing blog posts...
