Also, remember Elizier was only 20 years old at this time. I am the same age and had just started college then in 98. Bostrom was 25.

I find this interesting in particular:

For example, rather than rigidly prescribing a certain treatment for humans, we could add a clause allowing for democratic decisions by humans or human descendants to overrule other laws. I bet you could think of some good safety-measures if you put your mind to it.

They could be talking about a new government, rather than an AI.
