The machine god would still need resources provided by humans on their terms to run; the AI wouldn’t sweat having to run, for instance, 5 years straight of its immortality just to figure out a 10 years plan to eventually run at 5% less power than now, but humans may not be willing to foot the bill for this.

There’s no guarantee that the singularity makes economic sense for humans.


Presuming the kind of runaway superintelligence people usually discuss, the sort with agency, this just turns into a boxing problem.

Are we /confident/ a machine god with `curl` can't gain its own resilient foothold on the world?
