> Because nuclear weapons definitely will kill us

I don't think so. Hurt us, sure.

Kill us?

That's bioweapons. ;) Wait until a Plague, Inc.-tier engineered virus inevitably escapes a BSL4 lab and gg. AI might count in that it might help someone engineer such a virus in their home lab. I hope we have offplanet population centers or posthumans by then.

Again, no AGI needed for biowepons, malicious actors can do that today already. Perhaps not as easy, perhaps not as fast, but they can do it.

What we have shown time and again though is that what we can't do is solve climate change. For that only AGI may help.
