The megalomania of the SIAI crowd in claiming that they are the world-savers would worry me if I thought they might actually pull something off.
I also think they look rather ineffectual from the outside. On the other hand they apparently keep much of their actual research secret—reputedly for fears that it will be used to do bad things—which makes them something of an unknown quantity.
I am pretty sceptical about them getting very far with their projects—but they are certainly making an interesting sociological phenomenon in the mean time!
