I see two potential AGI apocalypses described in scenarios like this. 1. Skynet type scenario where machines rule and somehow we can’t pull the plug on them.

I see two potential AGI apocalypses described in scenarios like this. 1. Skynet type scenario where machines rule and somehow we can’t pull the plug on them. 2. Humans hoping to make money and gain power and weird positive feedback loops cause AI to goad humans into war with each other, causing massive world conflict, destroying the earth. I cannot for the life of me fathom number 1 ever happening. How many data centers or aircraft carriers or really anything electronic or mechanized continue working without massive human intervention to keep those power outlets or engines going? I can’t think of anything. Why do we keep fearing this? I don’t care how much the AI evolves and iterates in silicon, it cannot escape this law of our physical universe and need for a physical connection to the real world we live in. It needs an army of humans, the great generalists, supporting it, to even survive. Now if you fear #2, well that is more plausible and it seems we are living in it now.
