I’m puzzled a bit by your repeated questions about when to “start the clock” and this seems like it is possibly connected to the issue that people when discussing fooming are discussing a general intelligence going foom. They aren’t talking about little machine intelligences, whether neural networks or support vector machines or matchbox learning systems. They are talking about artificial general intelligence. The “clock” starts from when a a general intelligence with intelligence about as much as a bright human goes online.
I don’t think that is any good. If we have “quickly” being the proposed-elsewhere “inside six weeks”, it is better—but there is still a problem, which is that there are no constraints being placed on the capabilities of the humans back when the clock was started. Maybe they were just as weak back then.

Huh? I don’t follow.
