Doesn’t the first example require full-blown molecular nanotechnology? [ETA: apparently Eliezer says he thinks it can be done with “very primitive nanotechnology” but it doesn’t sound that primitive to me.] Maybe I’m misinterpreting the example, but advanced nanotech is what I’d consider extremely impressive.
I currently expect we won’t have that level of tech until after human labor is essentially obsolete. In effect, it sounds like you would not update until well after AIs already run the world, basically.
I’m not sure I understand the second example. Perhaps you can make it more concrete.
