Be it as it may, how can we be taken seriously if we discuss AI in the
framework of an uncritical, naive form of ethical universalism?

I have a great respect for the technical competence on the subject of many
of us, which in any event exceeds mine by far.

The aspects which make many people roteate their eyes when they hear about
the Singularity are other, and have much to do with taking non-technical
issues for granted or as obvious. They are not.
