I agree, if you construct this upload-aggregate and manage to ban other uses for the tech. This was reflected in the next sentence of my comment (maybe not too clearly):

To apply uploads specifically to FAI as opposed to generation of more existential risk, they have to be closely managed, which may be very hard to impossible once the tech gets out.

Especially if WBE comes late (so there is a big hardware overhang), you wouldn't need a lot of time to spend loads of subjective years designing FAI. A small lead time could be enough. Of course, you'd have to be first and have significant influence on the project.

Edited for spelling.
