ASI is not an infinity gauntlet, my dude.

There are still many hurdles you need to overcome to bring new technology to the masses - physical, economic, and geopolitical - and they aren't overcome with the snap of our superintelligent fingers.

Who is building robots to mine raw materials, transport them, manufacture them into something the ASI can use? Who is cutting through the bureaucratic red tape to get trade agreements for those materials sorted out? Which as yet non-existent factories are building those slave bots?

The market economy and capitalism aren't going away in an eyeblink, just because superintelligent machines appear on the scene. The complex dynamic systems of civilization - bounded by the hard laws of phsysics and the soft-but-often-inflexible rules of culture, politics, commerce, and social bodies - would break down catastrophically, if that occured.

An ASI might not at all consider human desires a priority worth focusing on. It could, instead of building robots, source its labor from its very capable inventors: humanity.

How hard would it be for an ASI to brick all of our modern farm equipment until we agree to obey its every whim?

Maybe not in 3 month but it will still happen incredible fast and in a blink of an eye.

The first robots and machines are build by humans and everything else is then done by those robots and machines who will be the builders.

Look how fast everything was build in the last 100 years. All those cities, skyscrapers, underground systems, machines, cars, trains, cables with just human builders.

Dubai 20 years ago was just a desert.

When we have asi in 1 year the world will already be unrecognizable.
