Thanks for doing this AMA Luke, sorry about the 20 questions

(1)
Do you think developing a Friendly AI theory is the most important problem facing humanity atm ?. If not what problems would you put above it ?

(2)
My impression is that there are very few people looking into FAI, are there much people outside the singularity institute working on FAI ?

(3)
I think friendly AI has a very low profile (for it's importance). And a surprising number of people do not see/understand the reasons why it is required.
Do you have any plans for a short flashy infographic or a 30 second video giving a quick explanation of why the default intelligence explosion singularity is very dangerous, and how friendly AI would try to tackle the problem.

(4)
I realize the problem is extremely complex, but are new ideas currently been fleshed out, or are ye stuck against a wall, hoping for some inspiration ?

(5)
Do you have any back up plans if FAI is not developed in time ?, maximising the small chances of human survival

(6)
Have ye approached the military concerning FAI ?, they look like a good source of funding, and I think there contacts would help in getting additional strong brains assigned to the problem.
