[a "friendly" AI] is actually unFriendly, as Eliezer uses the term

Absolutely. I used "friendly" AI (with scare quotes) to denote it's not really FAI, but I don't know if there's a better term for it. It's not the same as uFAI because Eliezer's personal utopia is not likely to be valueless by my standards, whereas a generic uFAI is terrible from any human point of view (paperclip universe, etc).

I guess it just doesn't bother me that uFAI includes both indifferent AI and malicious AI. I honestly think that indifferent AI is much more likely than malicious (Clippy is malicious, but awfully unlikely), but that's not good for humanity's future either.
