I greatly dislike the term "friendly AI". The mechanisms behind "friendly AI" have nothing to do with friendship or mutual benefit. It would be more accurate to call it "slave AI".

Is "slave" a good word for something where if you screw up enslaving it you almost automatically become its slave (if it had even the least interest in you as anything but raw material)?

Too bad "Won't kill us all horribly in an instant AI" isn't very catchy. . .

Guys, "The brain, which is about the size of a pencil eraser. . ." It isn't sentient, no matter what kind of stimulation or lack thereof it's been getting.

Now, can they make neurons from the skin cells of people with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and inject them into their brains to help with the disease?
