Reply to How would a malicious AI actually achieve power in the real world? by 010101011011

Nuclear weapons would destroy the energy grid and possibly servers. So I assume if something like malign AI were to strategically overthrow humans it would go for the long approach. Influence generations step by step until it brainwashed everyone into giving it full access. Think of the conspiracy an infinite patience could archive.

Perhaps they process their code and kill everything, then keep building defunct rockets and crashing into things, or perhaps build a capacitor and charge it with electricity until everything explodes. Perhaps it can't wrap it's head around solar collectors and just runs out of energy?

Worst case scenario: AI is actually not sentient at all and without supervision creates errors that dismantle it after a while due to inability to sustain itself.

All the excess humans will just sleep themselves to death.

It's honestly what most memes say that they want.

But I swear, then they will wake up after a series of fever dreams when their subconsciousness has finally caught up to the weird and wild life conditions that they are in. And then some will probably just do expressive dance, others might start entertaining themselves.

I work now to get training on integrated devices and see myself as an engineer in some years. If I didn't have to maintain my money, I would still have to prove my academic degrees. In fact my spending is optimized so that I have 0,00€ at the end of each month.
If the world was finally automatized and I could just live, I wouldn't change a thing except do sports and arts projects more often.

I honestly hope that I become obsolete during my lifetime, because that would mean engineers as a total have won the game.

My plan for retirement now is that when I am too old to focus on anything anymore, I will save up to buy a boat, probably a tug boat.
Then get some people to join me to go collect plastic from the garbage patches on the pacific ocean. Idk what to do with the plastic, but probably recycle it into granulate.
It's going to be old fuckin' people with all sorts of diseases and mental dysfuncitonality playing One Piece, fighting ocean pollution. If my genetical profile holds true to my family, I'll develop Alzheimers disease at about 90, so I'll have about 12 years time to control a boat. Unless of course somebody finds a cure, which looks promising.
