1. AI isn't close to human level (HL) yet.  I don't think we can really
know what HL will be like till we get a lot closer.

2. You can't get people to seriously discuss policy until HL is
closer.  The present discussants, e.g. Bill Joy, are just chattering.

3. People are not distinguishing HL AI from programs with human-like
motivational structures.  It would take a special effort, apart from
the effort to reach HL intellignece to make AI
systems wanting to rule the world or get angry with people or see
themselves as oppressed.  We shouldn't do that.

4. Je ne regrette rien.

5. To get so many four letter names you had to use some nicknames.
