Out of curiosity, exactly what would one do with an unfriendly AI? If it is
known to be unfriendly, then I assume you couldn't trust any information
that came out of it. Therefore, it would seem to me that the only use for
an unfriendly AI would be a code/data cadaver that you could inspect for
study. Interacting with a running version wouldn't seem to yield much
value.
