> Cripple enough infrastructure and humanity is going to be starving to death within weeks.
Just the threat of a malicious AGI that people take seriously enough would cause ourselves to pull the plug on the Internet and all computers until they can be disinfected and new filters put in place.
It doesn't matter if the AGI is capable of actually inflicting damage or not.
- rzl1235 3y agoAh yes, just "pull the plug". That's a hilarious idea, are you sure the AGI that was trying to destroy humanity didn't give you that one?
- reverius42 3y agoWe couldn’t even do coordinated lockdowns for a few weeks to prevent millions of Covid deaths, and you think we’ll have a coordinated cessation of computer and internet use?
- fl7305 3y agoI live in Europe. Germany, France and other large countries became virtual ghost towns overnight as it became illegal to leave your home for other than critical errands. Wasn't it the same in big parts of the US? I remember seeing videos of a helicopter flying over LA without cars or people out on the streets. But sure, the whole world wouldn't coordinate to shut down.
