    Real question – what would this apocalypse actually look like though? In theory – what actually happens?

    • That's exactly what I'd long wondered, and wrote about above. Unleashing of nukes is the 'easy' immediate path. Viruses, etc, still require human interventionNairn
    • It's not unreasonable to assume that an AI could simply troll us all into killing ourselves, if it didn't do the deed directly itself.Nairn
    • But what would the motivation be from a a machine? It feels like it would be more of a rogue state rather than the machines destroying humanity on purposeDaveO
    • As for viruses - it could deceive us and suggest a cure for cancer that we willingly build actually has hidden pathways for decimating us.Nairn
    • That's the thing - there is no motivation. It could just be the result of a poorly-considered prompt.Nairn
    • Imagine - Utopian A prompts a cancer vaccine which is abused and modified by an agent that Dystopian B prompts to achieve their aims.Nairn
    • The AI is innocent. It has no motivation, but in a world where there is no possibility for restriction, and closed models account for no one, who sees inside..Nairn
    • ..the black box and understands how these miracles are forme?Nairn
