Trust, but verify, and tape a shotgun to their forehead just in case.

And why isn't Yudkowsky advocating for sexy French Turing cops headshotting rogue AIs?
I think there was a case where a hostage taker in the US taped the barrel of his gun to a victim which was featured on TV and started to show up in crime dramas and thrillers. No idea why Yudkowsky likes Terminator but not Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep or William Gibson.
My first thought is to make a very unkind joke about his willingness to read when he could be watching.
