Thank you. I didn't phrase my question very well but what I was trying to get at was whether making a friendly AGI might be, by some measurement, orders of magnitude more difficult than making a non-friendly one.

Yes, it is orders of magnitude more different. If we took a hypothetical FAI-capable team, how much less time would it take them to make a UFAI than a FAI, assuming similar levels of effort, and starting at today's knowledge levels?

One-tenth the time seems like a good estimate.
