I try to imagine myself as a reviewer of a Singularity Institute paper. I'm not an expert in that field, so I'm trying to translate myself, and probably failing.

To become an expert in the field you will have to at least once build an AI going FOOM or instead read Omohundro's 'The Basic AI Drives' paper and cite it as corroborative evidence for any of your claims suffering from a lack of knowledge of how actual AGI is to come about :-)
