​There are indeed vested interests​

​but it wouldn't matter even if there weren't,
there is no way the friendly AI (aka slave AI) idea could work under any
circumstances. You just can't keep outsmarting​ something far smarter than
you are indefinitely, slaves smarter than their masters is like a pencil
balanced on its tip, it's not a
stable
