I didn’t want to give time lengths, since there’s a great deal of uncertainty about this, but I was thinking in terms of days or weeks rather than minutes or seconds when I wrote that. I would consider it quite a strange coincidence if two AIs are finished in the same week despite no AI having been discovered prior to that.
Well, if there’s an open-source project, multiple teams could race to put the finishing touches on, and some microchip factory could grant access to the team with the best friendliness-checking rather than the fastest results.
It might be possible to organise an open-source project in such a way that those who take part are not racing each other, but they must still deal with the possibility of other projects which may not be as generous in sharing all their data.
If things are a bit slower, like, days or weeks rather than minutes or seconds, access to human-built infrastructure might still be a factor.
