Yes, but extra positive noise in the strong FOOM scenarios doesn’t make much difference. If a bad AI fooms in 30 minutes rather than an hour, or even in 5 minutes, we’re still equally dead.
And I stand by the point that most noise will be negative. Start changing random things in, say, the earth’s ecosystem, may open great new opportunities, but is most likely to cost us than benefit us.

Positive noise might mean being able to FOOM from a lower starting base.
Point taken, though I’ve already increased my probability of early FOOM ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad4bHtSXiFE )
