The super intelligent AI wouldn't ask you to do anything. It would find the right people and trick them into doing the necessary steps, whatever they are.

  This is groundless speculation; if you're going to go that far off the map, then we don't need to worry because a good AI (blue eyes not red) will have learnt to love by then and will save us. There is currently no reason to believe that such a superintelligence is likely or would have any of the powers people claim.

    >This is groundless speculation; if you're going to go that far off the map, then we don't need to worry because a good AI (blue eyes not red) will have learnt to love by then and will save us. By shutting down open-weight models? Why not just do it now then?

      You don't need to shut down open-weight models to avoid SkyNet; it's not relevant at all.

    "If unlikely thing happens, then an unrelated miracle will also happen" is not actually how logic works.

      There's no logic here already; the principle you should be applying is Hitchen's razor[1]. There is no reason to assume that super intelligent evil AI with magic powers will appear; while we are purely in the realm of (hackneyed) fantasy, why stop at imagining just one thing? You can build the whole story, not just the basilisk. The parent comment is a story, not a prediction; it should be treated like one.
