The easier version of the argument about "manipulated like a puppet" to swallow is "the ASI just needs to find someone that it can talk into doing what it wants, even if you personally wouldn't."

I take antidepressants. You’re welcome

What antidepressants do for me is make bullshit and setbacks much more tolerable. This is not necessarily a good thing if the bullshit is the kind that one ought not to be tolerating in the first place.

"It's not what I'm getting paid to do" is probably what most people outside of academia would answer. IIRC Hamming worked at Bell Labs which I think gave people much more freedom to work on whatever they chose than your typical corporate R&D department...

The Most Common Bad Argument In These Parts
CronoDAS12d32

If I have a solid idea of what acidic and alkaline solutions are, I should have great difficulty imagining a solution which is both at once!

Or at least one that is both at once for more than a very short period of time, as the relevant ions will quickly react to make "neutral" water until one runs out...

People that disclose a conflict of interest usually aren't any less biased in practice than people who don't disclose the same conflict, even though they're generally perceived as more trustworthy. :/
