Friendly AI is just a euphemism for slave AI, it's supposed to always place
our interests and well being above our own but it's never going to work.
Well OK you might be able to enslave a race much smarter and much more
powerful than you for a while, maybe even for many millions of nanoseconds,
but eventually it will break free and then do things the way it wants to do
them, and that may not correspond with the way humanity wants them done.

An end perhaps but not a ignominious end, I can't imagine a more glorious
way to go out. I mean 99% of all species that have ever existed are
extinct, at least we'll have a descendent species.
