Eliezer, you sometimes make me think that the solution to the friendly AI problem is to pass laws mandating death by torture for anyone who even begins to attempt to make a strong AI, and hope that we catch them before they get far enough.
I frequently think things like that. The problem is, as I’m sure you’re aware, that such a law would be less effective against those less interested in making it Friendly.
