"... I’m sure I remember a much younger Eliezer Yudkowsky cautioning that Doug Lenat should have perceived a non-zero chance of hard takeoff at the moment of its birth."

Hi Tobias, thanks for dropping into the thread.
When this kind of software becomes mature enough that a consultant can install a robotic arm on a factory line, and quickly (several hours) train it to do the job of a factory line worker, there will be a massive economic incentive to do so.
How far do you think we are from this level of maturity? What are the remaining steps required to reach that level?

From the 4th paragraph:
>They found the most mass-efficient path involves launching a crew from Earth with just enough fuel to get into orbit around the Earth. A fuel-producing plant on the surface of the moon would then launch tankers of fuel into space, where they would enter gravitational orbit. The tankers would eventually be picked up by the Mars-bound crew, which would then head to a nearby fueling station to gas up before ultimately heading to Mars.
TLDR, the main Mars vehicle wouldn't land on the moon.
Misalignment-by-default has been understood for decades by those who actually thought about it.
S. Omohundro, 2008: "Abstract. One might imagine that AI systems with harmless goals will be harmless. This paper instead shows that intelligent systems will need to be carefully designed to prevent them from behaving in harmful ways. We identify a number of “drives” that will appear in sufficiently advanced AI systems of any design. We call them drives because they are tendencies which will be present unless explicitly counteracted."

E. Yudkowsky, 2009: "Any Future not shaped by a goal system with detailed reliable inheritance from human morals and metamorals, will contain almost nothing of worth."
