Now we are getting into the practical details which is a departure from the
original question which (I assume) was "Is RSI possible?". If the answer to
that question is yes, then a method of reaching it exists, and we can then
worry about finding it (a separate problem from building sub-human level
AI). My example didn't have anything to do with the details of achieving
RSI, it was only to answer the above question.
I agree that lots of experimentation and slow progress is ahead, and that is
why Strong AI probably won't be here for another 25 years or so (and even
that is assuming that the funding situation will improve soon). You have to
get there with incremental steps.
