I wonder where "We're going to modify the process of science so that it recursively self-improves for the purpose of maximizing its benefit to humanity" would be? Would it be less or more ambitious than SI's goal (even though it should accomplish SI's goal by working towards FAI)?

I would put it lower than 9 because a general AI is science as software. Which means it is already contained in 9.
