|How "prosaic" AI will be||
|Kind of AGI we will have first (de novo, neuromorphic, WBE, etc.)||
|Difficulty of philosophy|Philosophy is hard. Wei has discussed this in many places. See [here](http://lesswrong.com/lw/ig9/outside_views_and_miris_fai_endgame/9o19) for one discussion. See [here](http://lesswrong.com/lw/jgz/aalwa_ask_any_lesswronger_anything/dx46) for a recent comment. I'm not aware of a single comprehensive overview of his views on the difficulty of philosophy.|
|How well we need to understand philosophy before building AGI|We need to understand philosophy well. See some of the discussions with Paul Christiano. See also threads like [this one](http://lesswrong.com/lw/ua/the_level_above_mine/8b8u).|
|How well we need to understand philosophy before building AGI|We need to understand philosophy well. See some of the discussions with Paul Christiano. See also threads like [this one](http://lesswrong.com/lw/ua/the_level_above_mine/8b8u). "I think we need to solve metaethics and metaphilosophy first, otherwise how do we know that any proposed solution to normative ethics is actually correct?"[^metaethics_first]|
|How much alignment work is possible early on|"My model of FAI development says that you have to get most of the way to being able to build an AGI just to be able to *start* working on many Friendliness-specific problems, and solving those problems would take a long time relative to finishing rest of the AGI capability work."[^fai_dev]|
