Regardless, a million is a constant factor. Sufficient self-reinforcing development (as is kind of the point of seed AI) can outstrip any such factor. And the more self-reinforced the development of our AI pool becomes, the less relevant are "mere" constant factors.
I'm not saying it won't work, but I wouldn't like to bet on it.
Don't worry, I'm not saying it would work! We might put similar odds on it, or maybe not - less than .5 and more than .001, I'm not sure about what the full range of fleshing out the possible scenarios would look like, but there's probably a way in which I could fill in variables to end up with a .05 confidence in a specific scenario working out.
