I agree with everything in this comment (subject to the disclaimer in the first paragraph, and possibly excepting the strength of the claim in the very last sentence), and appreciate the clarification.
(I suspect we still disagree about how to apply ethics to AI risks, but I don't feel like having that argument right now.)

I'm not entirely sure I agree with the strength of the claim in my last sentence either. It does seem rather exaggerated. :)
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?
