What if I interweaved more nasty people in the list? The difference between morality and competence is something that I'd like to imply (and there is little room to state it explicitly).
I dunno. Goebbels is evil. I don't think you are trying to say (correct me if I'm wrong here) that the problem with haphazard AI is evil. The problem is that it won't be a moral being at all. All the people on that list are morally complicated individuals. My first reaction to the idea that they would be networked together is that they would probably get into some heated arguments. I really just don't see Einstein and Goebbels getting along on any kind of project, and if I'm not imagining them with their moral qualities attached, then what's the point of naming them in particular?
Maybe this is a workable alternative:
In any case, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the orthogonality thesis in this document. That's sort of a fancy argument, and not one that's likely to come up talking to the public. Movies kind of took care of that for you.
Thanks! will think about that...
