> Prime Intellect

Ah, yes, Prime Intellect, the AGI that went foom and genocided the universe because it was commanded to preserve human civilization without regard for human values. A strong contender for the least evil hostile superintelligence in fiction. What a wonderful thing to name your AI startup after. What's next, creating the Torment Nexus?

(my position on the book as a whole is more complex, but... really? Really?)

You may as well just go with Roko's Basilisk.

After reading that Torment Nexus post you didn't have the urge to name an AI product Torment Nexus? Really?
