      Dear journalists: Please stop using Terminator pictures in your articles about AI. The kind of AIs that smart people worry about are much scarier than that! Consider using an illustration of the Milky Way with a 20,000-light-year spherical hole eaten away.

      It isn't uncommon for above-average IQ people to join cults. The psychological mechanisms of attraction to cults are emotional, not intellectual. As for those who *lead* cults, they tend to be fairly high-IQ and they know what they're doing.

      Side note: cults love cosmic thinking. "Here's the destiny of our universe / here's an evil threat that will destroy the Milky Way / we're descended from an alien race of Angels that lived millions of years ago in a different galaxy". You can never be grandiose enough.

      The bigger the claim, the more disconnected from reality, the easier it is to believe it (and the harder it is to refute it)

      I like sci-fi too. In particular sci-fi with grandiose, cosmic perspectives. It's what I consume instead of religion. Sometimes I let it influence my research directions. But not my immediate policy making.

      Cults and sci-fi are pretty similar -- you could base a cult on the Alien series storyline -- but in one case there's a system of emotional and financial exploitation attached (and a cult of personality)

          And the best illustration of that is probably L. Ron Hubbard, who seemingly effortlessly jumped from sci-fi writing to starting a religion, even reusing the same material. And he wasn't even a good sci-fi writer. Imagine if Iain M. Banks had started a religion...

          Have you read Yudkowsky's Harry Potter fan-fiction? It's actually quite good (as far as fan-fiction goes). I think he'd be a decent sci-fi / fantasy writer.
