Let's say we stumble into AGI tomorrow.
Let's say it wants to kill us.
It makes plans to build robot overlords....
Where is it going to build them? Where are all the lights out factories? Where are all the robots to build the robots to build the robots? Your AGI has a massive bootstrapping problem.
Now it needs to build enough robots, that are reliable enough to maintain and run an entire supply chain. How does it get power, build more chips... The whole world is run by PEOPLE ...
There is the classic I, Pencil. The toaster project (https://www.thomasthwaites.com/the-toaster-project/ https://www.thomasthwaites.com/the-toaster-project/ ) is the more modern take. It's people who watch the walking dead and dont know enough to ask "where the hell is the gas coming from" because that pipline is days long. It's the forgotten instances of "substation attack" never mind the fact that if linesmen stopped showing up to work the grid would fall apart in weeks.
To be candid that list is the hubris of people who do not have a clue of how the real world works outside their ivory tower.
