Glad he's at least admitting it as a possibility.

Also: you know, you don't need to rely on lossy proxies like how much or how little sex do the arguments' proponents have. You can just read the arguments!

Arguments are not executable code or the final work product of… whatever it is they're arguing about. You have to continue interacting with these people and their AIs, so the underlying question of whether they're trustworthy and not evil always exists.

I think the mores of people building software that is made available as a conversational entity to the entire human population is at least somewhat relevant.
