... sigh ...

    "...In 2011, Moskovitz was among the early-funders of AI and robotics firm, Vicarious, which is trying to create machine learning software that can think and learn like a human, based on the computational principles of the human brain..."

So, their little baby AI, as it learns to be more human, is going to be child-like and "feeble-minded" (Bostrom's words) for its entire "life" ... and therefore should be exterminated, as he says human beings should be.

Or, lemme guess, your little baby AI, Mr Bostrom, is MORE precious than an actual living human being, and therefore should be given the resources to thrive, rather than the human being.

It's like these "long-term-ists" can only process any thought through three steps, and then they just wave their hands and yell 'PROFIT!' at the end.

They'd be so easy to beat at chess...
