Yes and no. At the lower levels, this would be like hygeine and medicine to them, and they would likely be more robust against simple viruses. But at the higher level, they would be susceptible to memetic infection, as everyone in this group has apparently been infected by the "friendly-ai" meme. The reason they would likely be susceptible is that they (and we) would be pretty much worthless if they(we) weren't. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=48836258-61ebf4
