(I happen to know something about the state of AI research outside of the FAI framework). I would not roll over in surprise if it's 5 years given state of certain technologies.

I'm curious, because I like to collect this sort of data: what is your median estimate?

(If you don't want to say because you don't want to defend a specific number or list off a thousand disclaimers I completely understand.)

Median 15-20 years. I'm not really an expert, but certain technologies are coming really close to modeling cognition as I understand it.
