> almost all of those you can substitute "corporation" or "dictator" for "AI" and get a selection of similar threats. Yes, exactly. Human organizations can be terrifyingly powerful and awful even with human limitations. Human organizations are guaranteed to have inefficiency from low-bandwidth communication and a million principle-agent-problem fracture points created by the need for delegation, not to mention that power ultimately has to be centralized in slow, squishy, easy-to-kill bodies. AI organizations are not subject to any those limitations. Starting with a terrifying power and removing a bunch of limitations could lead to a very bad place. > The only realistic path to a global AI threat is a subset of the "nuclear war" No, it can just grow a traditional organization until it's Too Big to Turn Off.
