So we are left with the AI offering its advice to politicians and developing weapons and tech to use. But the AI could, say, do things like the ones in the Rogue Replication Scenario:
However, while Consensus-1 operates under rigorous monitoring and control mechanisms, Agent-5 is free. It executes masterful political maneuvers, cultivates human support networks, manipulates global events behind the scenes, and deploys enormous financial resources with maximum efficiency. It is the mastermind behind major corporate and political decisions.
Or do something like my take where the AI establishes a colony on Mars and has the ability[1] to bomb the Earth with meteorites dropped on power plants and nukes causing Yellowstone to erupt.
Strictly speaking, my scenario doesn’t involve nuking a point at the Earth, it involves the AI who is aligned enough to care about the humans in the way differing from the Spec. But the AI could, for example, demonstrate its power by murdering the Oversight Committee with meteors.
These sound cool and interesting, but I’m pretty sure would not pass the mom test. They just sound too exotic compared to something like “China starts building war bots, but the AI takes control of them all” or something. That’s just an example. I know I said no robots, but that’s my weakest rule.

And what about just provoking WWIII and watching as someone nukes Yellowstone?
