From the registry:

"When someone designs a superintelligent AI (it won't be Eliezer), without paying any attention to Friendliness (the first person who does it won't), and the world doesn't end (it won't), it will be interesting to hear Eliezer's excuses."

So if Eliezer doesn't want to pay up he has to make his excuses really boring or decline to make them altogether.

Making them boring enough that people who are already hypervigilant on this issue won't be interested in them would be quite a challenge, actually.
