Sends you a text from your spouse's phone number that an emergency has happened and you need to go to xyz location right now. Someone else is a gun owner and they get a similar text, but their spouse is being held captive and are sent to the same location with a description of you as the kidnapper. Scale this as desired.
Use your imagination!
- semi-extrinsic 4y agoAgain, what part of this couldn't an evil human group already do today? What in this plan requires an AGI for it to be a scary scenario? Of course if you do it to everyone, total gridlock ensues and nobody gets to the place where they would be killed. If you only do it to a few, maybe there will be a handful of killings before everyone learns not to trust a text ever again. As an aside, I agree living in a country where people will take their guns around and try to solve things vigilante style instead of calling the police, is a very bad thing in general. In all first-world countries except one, and in almost all developing countries in the world, this is a solved problem.

An AI might be able to run this attack against the entire planet, all at once. Try to think like a not-human, and give yourself the capacity of near-infinite scale. What could you do? Human systems are hilariously easy to disrupt and you don't need nukes to make that happen.
