But this is as true. My point is that you shouldn't waste hope on lost causes. If you know how to make given AGI Friendly, it's a design of FAI. It is not the same as performing a Friendliness ritual on AGI and hoping that the situation will somehow work out for the best. It's basic research in a near-dead field, it's not like there are 50K teams having any clue. But even then it would be a better bet than Friendliness lottery. If you convince the winner in the reality of danger, to let your team work on Friendliness, you've just converted that AGI project into a FAI project, taking it out of the race. If you only get a month to think about improvements to given AGI and haven't figured out a workable plan by the deadline, there is no reason to call your activity "maximizing chances of Friendliness".
