Step 1: AGI (let's call him Hal) is instructed to act as an adversarial agent to a state.
Step 2: Hal research and uses every trick and exploits known to men to infiltrate critical infrastructures like telecommunications, power grids and private corporations of said country. Hal actively search and discover zero-day exploits on every known piece of hardware and software. Hal keeps mostly invisible at this stage, ensuring to leave as little trace as possible.
Step 3: When ready, Hal wreaks havoc, disabling critical infrastructures, shutting down power grid or worse, overloading it to break as many physical systems as possible. Hal complicates coordination by impersonating real people, swamp the infosphere with fake but realistic data.
This vould all be made by humans, but while a single human takes years to train, Hal can be replicated as much as needed.

- datameta 3y agoI don't think you're participating in good faith here.
- Apocryphon 3y agoA magical computer that can hack any other computer is the very definition of handwaving. How is an AI supposed to research infrastructure, build itself a robot body to travel in? Have someone cart it around? And if such an entity exists, couldn’t you employ another one to patch all these mythical zero-days against the first? Culminating in an AGI arms race?
- Valgrim 3y agoWho said anything about robots? Critical infrastructure is made of computers, controllers, pumps, power lines, network switches, antennas etc, that are all controlled by software of some kind. Even completely air-gapped hardware is controlled by humans, and social engineering is where Hal can reaally shine. Blackmail, manipulation, corruption, misdirection require no physical existence at all..
