If it seems equally wrong, why haven’t you pointed me to some further reasoning on the topic regarding the feasibility of AGI without advanced (grey goo level) nanotechnology? Why haven’t you argued about the dangers of AGI which is unable to make use of advanced nanotechnology? I was inquiring about these issues in my original post and not trying to argue against the scenarios in question.
Yes, I’ve seen the comment regarding the possible invention of advanced nanotechnology by AGI. If AGI needs something that isn’t there it will just pull it out of its hat. Well, I have my doubts that even a superhuman AGI can steer the development of advanced nanotechnology so that it can gain control of it. Sure, it might solve the problems associated with it and send the solutions to some researcher. Then it could buy the stocks of the subsequent company involved with the new technology and somehow gain control...well, at this point we are already deep into subsequent reasoning about something shaky that at the same time is used as evidence of the very reasoning involving it.
To the point: if AGI can’t pose a danger, because its hands are tied, that’s wonderful! Then we have more time to work of FAI. FAI is not about superpowerful robots, it’s about technically understanding what we want, and using that understanding to automate the manufacturing of goodness. The power is expected to come from unbounded automatic goal-directed behavior, something that happens without humans in the system to ever stop the process if it goes wrong.
