You might be right that the AI is more difficult, but I disagree on the androids being dangerous.

There are physical limitations to androids that imo make it very difficult that they could be seriously dangerous, let alone invincible, no matter how intelligent: - power (boston dynamics battery lasts how long?), an android has to plug in at some point no matter what - dexterity, or in general agency in real world, seems we’re still a long way from this in the context of a general purpose android

General purpose superhuman robot seems really really difficult.

!!

I don't want anyone to think I meant that.

Sure, and we have to eat; despite this, human actions have killed a lot of people

Yes? The 5-10 years thing is about the gap between some AI that doesn't exist yet (level 5 self-driving) moving from car-sized hardware to android-sized hardware; I don't make any particular claim about when the AI will be good enough for cars (delay before the first step), and I don't know how long it will take to go from being good at just cars to good in general (delay after the second step).

Like, there aren't computer-controlled industrial robots that are many many times stronger than humans?!? Wow, and here I thought there were.
