>So you're telling me we could come across a series of numbers This is badly missing the forest for the trees. They are not "numbers", they are magnitudes, proportions, relationships, etc, represented as numbers. But these "magnitudes, proportions, relationships, etc" are the stuff that thoughts and behaviors are made of. And yes, there is a set of "magnitudes, proportions, relationships, etc" in the space of all such possible structures that pose an existential threat to humans. The question is how likely are we to stumble upon it either by accident or intentionally. But this is just a computational problem.
