How would it get access to those nukes? Are nukes that insecure? How would it get access to enough without raising alarms and having the nukes further secured in response?
I’ll tell you how I would do it in 2 minutes thinking. Make a deal with Iran or North Korea, or any other rogue state to help them develop their nuclear and ballistic missile arsenal, and make sure to put in a couple of backdoors so that I can fire them. I’m sure an AGI, or even anyone who spent more than 5 minutes on this could come up with a better plan.
Do they have access to enough materials (uranium or plutonium) to build enough bombs to wipe most humans out or can they get access without being stopped?
What kinds of backdoors? The Iranians or North Koreans might be smart enough to avoid connecting nukes to the internet.
From what little I know, you can basically get unlimited yield from a thermonuclear bomb with just a normal amount of fissile material by increasing the number of stages, especially if the bomb can remain static and doesn’t have to be fired. The main challenge would be figuring out how to have your AI survive that.
