advocating murder on the public internet is not just wrong but UTTERLY FUCKING STUPID.
This is not a sane representation of what has been said on this thread. I also note that taking an extreme position against preemptive strikes of any kind you are pitting yourself against the political strategy of most nations on earth and definitely the nation from which most posters originate.
For that matter I also expect state sanctioned military or paramilitary organisations to be the groups likely to carry out any necessary violence for the prevention of AGI apocalypse.
This thread started with a post talking about how we should 'neutralize' people who may, possibly, develop AI at some point in the future. You, specifically, replied to "Bad argument gets counterargument. Does not get bullet. Never. Never ever never for ever." with "I approve of that sentiment so long as people don't actually take it literally when the world is at stake." Others have been saying "The competent resort to violence as soon as it beats the alternatives." What, exactly, would you call that if not advocating murder?
It's probably easier to build an uncaring AI than a friendly one. So, if we assume that someone, somewhere is trying to build an AI without solving friendliness, that person will probably finish before someone who's trying to build a friendly AI.

further edit:
Wow, this is getting a rather stronger reaction than I'd anticipated. Clarification: I'm not suggesting practical measures that should be implemented. Jeez. I'm deep in an armchair, thinking about a problem that (for the moment) looks very hypothetical.
For future reference, how should I have gone about asking this question without seeming like I want to mobilize the Turing Police?
