Is it well-established that AGI is easier to solve than nanomachinery? Yudkowksy seems to be confident it is, but I wouldn’t have expected that to be a question we know the answer to yet. (Though my expectations could certainly be wrong.)
A fair question. I don’t think it is established, exactly, but the plausible window is quite narrow. For example, if nanomachinery were easy, we would already have that technology, no? And we seem quite near to AGI.
