Hmmm..... But, Iran has threatened to attack other countries. In my scenario, the AGI host country is not threatening anybody. And anyway, nobody is attacking Iran now, right? They're making sanctions against Iran, but a clever AGI might not mind that so much anyway; it could probably find ways to work around them... And in the end I think some countries would violate any such sanctions and trade with the AGI host country for purely economic reasons... Still, there are obviously a lot of possible scenarios to consider !! ... > > Thanks again for your excellent article. > Thanks for the appreciation ;) ben ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
