I agree with pretty much all of that. I've been getting more hopeful lately, for the most part. It really does look like we can get it right. That said, I think we should keep in mind that more than a few actual geniuses have cautioned strongly against the dangers. So, you know.

But I'm on the optimistic side of the fence right now, and yeah if it does go bad it'll absolutely be because of negligence and not inability.
