Are there enough nukes to do that? How would it deploy them? How do you do it without having any retaliation? Without raising any alarms? It might be a easy to state plan in the surface but not feasible in practice. For me, it takes two seconds saying something like that: the AGI makes poison X and spread it by post mail, but pulling that off might be impossible. I feel like people coming up with plans are simply not aware of the underlying complexities of them
See my answer to MichaelStJules for the outline of how I would do it.
These are the sort of problems where I feel a sufficiently committed intelligent human could work out the details, never mind an AGI. I am neither so I’m not going to bother. If you want to say nanotechnology or sufficiently deadly poisons or diseases are impossible I’ll accept that might be true. But nuclear weapons are a known technology.
I furthermore agree it might be difficult to do without detection or in 5 minutes, but I just don’t see why it matters—a sufficiently intelligent Hitler would have been just as bad for humanity, as one with superpowers to kill everyone else before they can respond. And if humanity was barely able to defeat Hitler why do you think it would stand a chance against an AGI?
