That's awfully vague. "Whatever window of time we had", what does that mean?
There's one kind of "technological progress" that SIAI opposes as far as I can tell: working on AGI without an explicit focus on Friendliness. Now if you happen to think that AGI is a must-have to ensure the long-term survival of humanity, it seems to me that you're already pretty much on board with the essential parts of SIAI's worldview, indistinguishable from them as far as the vast majority is concerned.
Otherwise, there's plenty of tech that is entirely orthogonal with the claims of SIAI: cheap energy, health, MNT, improving software engineering (so-called), and so on.
Molecular nanotechnology and anything else that can be weaponized to let a very small group of people effectively kill a very large group of people is probably something SIAI-type people would like to be countered with a global sysop scenario from the moment it gets developed.
