Reading this comment encourages me to think that Unfriendly AI is part of a political campaign to rally humans against a competing intelligent group by manipulating their feelings negatively towards that group. It is as if we believe that the Nazis were not wrong for using propaganda to advance their race, they just had the wrong target, OR they started too late to succeed, something lesswrongers are worried about doing with AI.
Should we have a discussion whether it is immoral to campaign against AI we deem as unfriendly, or would it be better to just participate in the campaign against AI by downvoting any suggestion that this might be so? Is a consideration that seeking only FAI might be immoral a basilisk?
