I agree that those things are bad, but don’t actually see any “Less Wrong jargon” in that paragraph, with the possible exception of “Friendly AI”. “Wrong question” and “hack away at the edges” are not LW-specific notions.
The “Wrong Question” phrase is in general use but in lesswrong usage is somewhat more specific and stronger meaning than it often does elsewhere.
