for as long as...

Sean Patrick Conner: Avoiding Roko's basilisk, part II.

I'm gonna print out "For as long as you have a way for the machine to validate it’s (sic) outputs it can even..." in 128 pt type and post it on my wall. There is, perhaps, a class of problems where that's true. Factoring primes, maybe. But generally: those are the words of someone who should be physically prevented from getting anywhere near a keyboard.
