I don't disagree with his assertion that these AIs may create problems
(although I don't agree with what IMO is a hyperbolic/hysterical level of
concern with it), and that we should do our best to minimize their impact.
 I'm also not personally worried about one of them having some kind of
catastrophic influence on myself personally.

What I am generally disappointed in is anyone calling for heavy handed
forced global regulation with life sentences involved for anyone who
doesn't agree to said regulations.

I also don't think this djinn can be put back in the bottle, so I would
rather see people working together to counter perceived threats creatively
without forcing others to tow the line on their positions via the barrel of
a gun.
