Edit: It's now fixed.

A non-doomsday machine (the AI "for which no wish is safe.")

In Eliezer's quote, "genies for which no wish is safe" are those that kill you irrespective of what wish you made, while here it's written as if you might be referring to AIs that are safe even if you make no wish, which is different. This should be paraphrased for clarity, whatever the intended meaning.

Or maybe the parenthesis refere only to "doomsday machine"

That's how I read it. The wording could be clearer.

This is the intended reading. Edited for clarity.
