I'm working next week on what I call user aligned computing.

Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQgtVdyNzaQ code here https://github.com/eb4890/agorint.

It might be a bit like the control problem for normal computers (but mainly with a separate evolutionary pathway ), it doesn't assume the thing it is trying to control is a super intelligent genie with its own goals. It is a user controlled market which determines the programs the systems access to resources such as memory and processing power and also I/O.

I am hoping might be part of program of Intelligence Amplification and it would make computers more secure in general (less of a monoculture with easily acquirable ambient authority) so might have impact on some fast take off scenarios.

I'm about to start making the market work, having got some basic infrastructure working.
