Move to Discussion.
As an aside, I seriously think we need to start considering general AI stuff as off-topic again.
It's not "general AI stuff", it's about Friendly AI, as suggested by the post's title.
Joshua, congrats on publishing this.
In this context I put Friendly AI in the category of "general AI stuff".
The important part here is that it's about FAI, not about the art of human rationality.
As long as we're allowing some discussion on off-topic subjects that are not "the art of human rationality", can we please get rid of the useful off-topic subjects last?
I'd rather diminish the discussion of off-topic subjects, and get rid of the noisiest topics first.
AI and FAI are notable because people like to talk about them a lot for something off-topic.
I'd be more likely to agree if there were somewhere else to productively discuss Singularity/FAI issues.
I agree that there should be somewhere else to discuss those things.
SL4?
Does that still exist?
The site's there, but I don't know how active the community still is.
Perhaps the Singularity Institute and the Center for Applied Rationality should have separate community blogs?
This is theoretically a good idea, but I think at present there is so much crossover between the communities that it would be unwise to make such a move.
What about having softish separation like between main and discussion posts? Accounts and karma and code is shared, but different sections with different articles.
Besides, the subject matters of the two have significant overlap. Where would you put formal analysis/development of various decision theories, for example?
Speaking of which, where is all that good stuff put as it stands?
In all seriousness, you may want to try Stuart Armstrong's user page.
Put it on either and link it from the other one.
I like AI stuff.
I hope you realize that your liking of the off-topic subject is not relevant to this discussion.
As do I.

It's interesting, but it's not something that fits the tagline: "refining the art of human rationality".
