I will gladly take such a bet.  I know a penny isn't really worth the 
trouble of even betting, but it is virtually impossible for me to lose. 
  I assume that you are willing to risk this because the risk of a penny 
is so small.  I think that the risk that we can actually build a 
friendly AI that progresses to the point of disassembling the sun 
within 20 years is even a smaller risk.
