(nods) Likely.

And I agree that humans might be able to detect attempts at deception in a system at that stage of its development. I'm not vastly confident of it, though.

I have likewise adjusted down my confidence that this would be as easy or as inevitable as I previously anticipated. Thus I would no longer say I am "vastly confident" in it, either.

Still good to have this buffer between making an AI and total global catastrophe, though!

Sure... a process with an N% chance of global catastrophic failure is definitely better than a process with N+delta% chance.
