No I am not going to read fucking Bostrom's book on AI. Obviously this is the only book you have ever read on the subject which is why you keep bringing it up. And don't you think that you know, just maybe, perchance, perhaps, he might have carefully selected which scientists he decided to quote in order to make his point and sell pop science books to people like you?
Oh sorry, am I ruining your little fantasy again?
Am I questioning your religious leader's credentials? (I'm referring to Sam Harris btw)

One's job or area of expertise is irrelevant of their arguments are sound and the relevant experts agree with their conclusions in large numbers.
The arguments are not sound.
Experience does matter.
Reading a sensationalist pop-science book doesn't.
If experience didn't matter then we wouldn't try to reproduce scientific experiments, we'd just accept the literature at face value.
That's not how science works boy.
