Note that this actually has very little to do with most of the seemingly hard parts of FAI theory. Much of it would be just as important if we wanted to create a recursively self modifying paper-clip maximizer, and be sure that it wouldn’t accidentally end up with the goal of “do the right thing”.
The actual implementation is probably far enough away that these issues aren’t even on the radar screen yet.
