That is why SIAI and FHI agree on at least wistfully wishing that uploads would come first

It seems to me that uploads first is quite possible, and also that the relatively small resources currently being devoted to uploading research, make the timing of uploading, a point of quite high leverage. Would SIAI or FHI be interested in discussing ways to accelerate uploading?

Thanks! Excellent start. The section on falsifiable design, in particular, I'd recommend reading for anyone interested in any kind of speculative technology.
