Then I won't need it. Creating an Oracle AI is strictly easier than
creating Friendly AI (although arguably not by much), that is why the
concept looks useful. Oracle AI only needs to be cooperative in
short-term and in retrospect, while Friedly AI needs to stay so
indefinitely. I can't guarantee that I will be Friendly indefinitely,
but I'll do just fine as an Oracle AI if I somehow manage to produce a
theory of Friendliness.
