No, I haven't written in any detail about any other approach. I think when I wrote that post I was mainly worried that Eliezer/SIAI wasn't thinking enough about what other approaches might be more likely to succeed than FAI. After my visit to SIAI a few months ago, I became much less worried because I saw evidence that plenty of SIAI people were thinking seriously about this question.

I haven't seen any other approaches mentioned here specifically, would be interesting to hear what those thoughts are, if they are publishable.

I think there is a lot of room improving on Englebart's approach with modern tools. It may also be viewed as a booster to the FAI rocket, if it in crease productivity enough.
