when I was reading this a big glass full of hot liquid fell over my pants
and slippers and floor and now it's all a huge mess!
Any support for your statements? What is to block self-improvement from
generating a singularity? Can't you have a singularity without friendliness?
Friendliness does not strike me as a computationally intensive task but it's
about basic design of a mind. Enforcing friendliness, this is not smart,
what you want is cooperation not enforcement.
