Ummmmmmm.... I give up. Who? Oh wait, hang on a sec... are you talking
about me? Damn, you've nimbly turned the tables on me... hoisted on my own
pitard!

Hey, come on, even -you- gotta admit that you've been good for a few mad
scientist quotes as of late:

"I suspect AI will choose its friends very intelligently, befriending those
who
befriend intelligence, and "sterilizing" the rest."

"It is hubris such as yours that makes me welcome a technological
singularity which will supplant petty minded mortals."

"Bring on the TS! Death to all anthropomorphic nit wits!"

"On the contrary, if we treat AIs as disposable and expendable, that will
insure
their compliance and user friendliness (just as similar treatment of GIs
insures
their obedience and compliance)."
