Is that two compliments in one? :) I am debating releasing a sort of part 3, which actually could be called "insanity", but you should save the criticism for that one.

Maybe in that one you could explain what about your experience with machine learning algorithms and pharma style highly regulated industries leads you to believe that turning machine learning algorithm development (not even "deployment", mind you, since in the FOOM scenario developing a self improving capability is tantamount to deploying it) into a highly regulated industry wouldn't be an unmitigated disaster.

And maybe you could describe why regulating AI research must be an unmitigated disaster? If over time it proves that certain areas of research provide a clear existential threat to our species, why is it irrational to then attempt to slow down certain fields of research relative to others?
