Could you argue against the position directly? You kinda took a swerve in the middle there. Bostrom, Yudkowsky, and Barrat's positions are basically "superintelligence is possible, it will eventually happen in some way, and when it does ..." It's not within the scope of the quoted works to elaborate a technical roadmap or provide firm dates for the arrival of superhuman machine intelligence.
So you would like to see unencumbered research in this area. They argue that the long term outcome of this research is existentially risky and therefore should be tightly regulated, and the sooner the better. Do you have any points regarding this particular difference of opinion?
