Use highly advanced narrow AI to crack nanotech problems, begin world takeover. Alternatively, use quantum computers to crack nanotech problems, begin world takeover. If FAI is hard and AGI is easy then you need a singleton. If you need a singleton then you need a lot of power very quickly. The easiest way to get that much power that quickly is hard-to-copy technological advances.
Alternatively make your seed AI’s decision theory as reflective as you possibly can and then release it at the last possible moment. Pray that reflection on the causes of your utility function is an attractor in decision-theory-space even for non-XDT AIs.
If there are better ideas than these I have not heard them.
