    No not at all my sympathies are with the monsters it is unfair to them to make them. There a Gnostic idea that God sinned by creating us. I think in a secular way that is what we would be doing.

Neat -- I read a lot of future-blog stuff, mostly over-optimistic silliness but occasionally interesting -- never seen this view particularly, or at least never seen it mentioned in a Gnostic context.

Certainly when we think of AI we think of benefit to us or detriment to us, not otherwise.
