Theres some crossover. Isn't this exactly what a rogue super AI would do first?

- run some simulations and discover a superconductor

- then write up a paper on it ( the paper has some gaps but humans take it and run with it)

- human technology and computing power rapidly accelerates.

- the rogue AI's powers increase exponentially

Having played through Portal 2 again recently, it's like the equivalent of GlaDOS scheming to take back over the Aperture Science Facility while she's only getting 1.1 Volts from the potato.
The oneshot or short session manner in which AI are typically used does not have a rogue potential.

The AI would need to have a virtually unreachable goal, and run in an endless loop, to be able to drift its goals to be at odds with humanity.

As you say it, I'm tempted to try it.

Doubt I'm the first.

people forget that AI was already in control of the markets since 2014 at least. it's bootstrapping
