Oh yes, I don’t have any issues with a plan where the machine hacks crypto, though I am not sure how capable would be of doing that without raising any alarms from any group in the world, how it could guarantee that someone is not monitoring it. After that, remember you still need a lot of inferential steps to get to a point where you successfully deploy those cryptos into things that can exterminate humans. And keep in mind that you need to do that without being discovered and in a super short amount of time.

While I expect that this would be the case, I don’t consider it a crux. As long as the AGI can keep itself safe, it doesn’t particularly matter if it’s discovered, as long as it has become powerful enough, and/or distributed enough, that our civilization can no longer stop it. And given our civilization’s level of competence, those are low bars to clear.
