In most areas of research, there are ways of recognizing way-points on the path to domination. For example, in medical research, the halfway point to curing an illness is typically marked when you can answer the question "Why is this illness really a good thing?!!!" The answer usually contains an explanation of why the patient would be dead by now if their body hadn't taken action leading to the present illness, which uncovers an invisible underlying malfunction that is the REAL problem, etc.
I wonder what way-points there might be on the path to AGI? Perhaps this will come when someone can answer the question "Why is AGI so difficult?", but I suspect others here might have their own ideas regarding way-points to AGI, as different from way-points along wrong paths.
