Of course, "gradually training the AGI's values through an extended childhood" gets tricky if it turns out that there's a hard takeoff.

Yes. Once you get the AGI up to roughly human child level, presumably autodidactic learning could takeover. Reading and understanding text on the internet is a specific key activity that could likely be sped up by a large factor.

So - then we need ways to speed up human interaction and supervision to match.
