Ben, These precautions seem prudent..I'm glad you have thought this thru deeply..
Regarding the idea that the absence of evolutionary wiring will diminsh the effect of the negative afflictions is an interesting one. It will be interesting to see whether that holds to be true. One could argue that the positive emotions like Joy, equanimity, and compassion are also possibly hardwired to a degree and they help counter the negative emotions\impulses, so it follows that a machine lacking a built in wiring for positive emotions might be less willing\able to restrain the negative emotions...
