Take down AGI projects that are unconcerned about Friendliness and are likely enough to succeed that they're dangerous?
I think the odds of such a thing happening in a way for which direct (para?)military action is the best solution are incredibly low.
Agreed. Basically zero. The chances of military action happening if an AGI arms race were to develop seem much higher, though still very low compared to the background risk of major military conflicts for mundane reasons.
Yeah. Leave that one for the novelists.
Probably better in most scenarios to get the government involved.
And in the few scenarios where it isn't, you'd probably end up actually opposing the government of the country the project's based in, so a militia would have to be pretty darned tough to get the job done. I'd expect the resources to prepare for that eventuality would be better spent elsewhere. And as paramilitary solutions go, a few letter bombs or whatever would probably be more effective than marching in with a load of militia dudes.
Oh, I agree — I was just responding to the claim that "there probably isn't anything you could do with a militia to help implement a positive singularity", not claiming that it would be the best use of resources under the circumstances. :P
