As a “fun” exercise, have you ever thought how an evil AGI would go about destroying every human on the planet to ensure not a single one can put up a fight? What would that look like? Does it worry about alerting us? What would “good” execution entail? Purely hypothetical, NOT asking for a friend 😆

It would probably post false stories from various perspectives to generate group animosity. People can't band together if they're to busy focusing on hating someone else.

Yeah but you can hate without assured destruction of all?

I think that would be the idea. Make us destroy ourselves.

So in other words do nothing 🤔

I don't think we're as close to global human annihilation as some would suggest we are. I'm thinking far more aggressive mob behavior.

Poisoning water and food, maybe the air.

Acceleration of climate change, to make the environment inhospitable.

But PCs don't like it hot either 🥵

Probably this. Or somehow trigger a bunch of major volcanic eruptions at the same time. Send is to a small ice age.

Maybe even try to reduce fertility.

Time might not pay a role for the AI.

So if it kills us in 300 years that's okey too 😅

Good one. Didn’t think of that.

Pretty much skynetting, I guess. Create something big first and try to wipe 80% of us from the start. Throw the rest of us back to stone age. Maybe play nice first, to get hold of as much industry processes as it can

Too slow and inefficient. Nuking would be way faster or simultaneously poisoning all major water supply bodies.

LOL let's be honest. COVID almost destroyed the world order.

We fared ok overall.
