Many other groups of minds, for example the FAI programming team themselves, would of course seem too arbitrary to gather sufficient support for the idea.
Depends what you mean by “sufficient support”. The only sufficient support that particularly subgroup needs is stealth.
I wouldn’t go along with it. Marcello wouldn’t go along with it. Jaan Tallinn and Peter Thiel might or might not fund it, but probably not. I’m not saying this couldn’t exist, just that it would have neither the funding nor the people that it currently does.
I may be generalizing from fictional evidence here, but isn’t this exactly what Prime Intellect writes to instill in us? (I still don’t know why it was a problem to restart the aliens if you kept them in a similar universe to ours caught in a small enough simulation to monitor.)
Our chief weapon is ostracism. Ostracism and disrespect, disrespect and ostracism...our two weapons are ostracism and disrespect...and mockery. Our three weapons...

Unfortunately you don’t currently have either the funding or the people to create an FAI of any kind, selfish or otherwise.
Or speed.

Or force.
Or ostracism, disrespect and mockery.

Or luck.
Or power, or momentum, or mass...
