Right, there are plenty of failure modes, some less unpleasant than others, some are probably horrific beyond our worst nightmares.

If so, preferring death by AI over death by a bioweapon is but a failure of imagination.

It doesn’t take much comfort to beat a bioweapon that actually succeeds in killing everyone.
Simply using our atoms to make paperclips, and being quick about it, wins.
