I would go for choice #3. Most of the people will not "get it" at
all. Those who do will mostly see Cylons or worse coming all too soon
and raise hell to get such work banned. A few will become more of
"us". A few more will expect tons of far-out goodies starting some
time next week. So I would expect the results of such an effort to
be almost completely detrimental where there are any results at all.

Is a broad-based political/social movement to (1) raise consciousness
regarding the potential of A.I. and its future implications and to, in
turn, (2) stimulate public discussion about this whole issue
possible at
this time? Or is there simply too much disagreement (or, at Ben put
it,
too much disregard for the "geeks") for this to be possible? (Please,
please, thoughts anyone?)
