Eli isn't the only one. I figure that whether or not this scenario happens
wil be determined by the laws of physics, so I'm not worried about causing a
disaster that would not otherwise have occured. I am, however, very
concerned about the potential for a future in which AI turns out to be easy,
and the first example is built by some misguided band of Asimov-law
enthusiasts.
