With super-intelligence beyond human maximum levels, singularity could be any scifi scenario you could possible think about.

But to make it feasible to be presented to authorities which have a serious lack of understanding of the current level of the AI technology, the best path could be to show the risks using the most probable scenarios - even if they aren't the worst - say, what if an "runaway" AI has taken over some important human network to make it its home, could be the Maerks global IT network, a big bank network, some transportation infrastructure, you name it.

Then you need to step in and clean that network, working against a seemingly impossible to erradicate adversary, which at any blink of an eye could just jump using whatever connectivity means available to the hacked network.

Add this: the AI has taken over the network, it is using its resources, but it keeps it working as intended, then it threats to just blow it out before jump, if you make any attempts to erradicate its presence from the infrastructure.

I.E. singularity has just arrived to the planet

What would you do?

Why would a superintelligent AI expose itself and its long-term chances by very public takeover. It will likely be something very low-profile like stealing electricity and mining ore underground.

You're right, I'm thinking about an scenario where we (humans), have (un?)luckily found the thing happily camping in some big network.

Also, I'm not hypothesizing about a future super-intelligent AI, maybe we're far close to a good enough opensource LLM (which could be capable of running and then spawing itself inside a big infrastructure, think "some sysadmin AWS credentials + critical servers taken over, GPUs added to its underlying configuration"), who with some ill auto-prompt could end spreading mayhem just by some unmanaged automation gone wrong.
