I described what I think could be a plausible way, but of course ASI would presumably be far smarter than me and so would have a much better plan yes.
I have other comment with those steps, but roughly ASI would have to
1. Be able to clone itself, create botnets all over the World to make sure there's enough redundancy. I think that's very plausible and would be easy for it to do if it gains network access even for just a while.
2. Gain means to have control over some set of humans through blackmailing (hacking for compromised information), finance (ransomware, currently $1 billion+ market) or just simple persuasion/ideology. It would use human proxies to form physical companies to establish stronger physical presence in many countries, plant devices for hacking, etc. Probably co operate with criminal organisations, etc. The money it has made can go long way there to achieve things.
3. Once it has enough human proxies it would need to make sure that it doesn't need to rely on human proxies and then it would need to either establish its own robotics companies through proxies or hack existing robots/factories to get control over them.
And during all that it might not even be clear to the proxies what they are really dealing with. The AI could make up a different background story and a pattern for each of the proxies, where each proxy wouldn't even know about each other.
If ASI was to happen today, and it was truly ASI, I don't see how it can be stopped, honestly. No one would be even able to tell what is going on, since it can use encryption techniques for everything it does that differ from what humans would use, and it can diligently switch up the pattern so it wouldn't be clear that if there's a rise in cyber attacks or scams, that there's a single entity behind it. So I think no one would even know for a while what is going on, and when they do, by then it would be too late.
