This might be a movie threat notion—if so, I’m sure I’ll be told.
I assume the operational definition of FOOM is that the AI is moving faster than human ability to stop it.
As theoretically human-controlled systems become more automated, it becomes easier for an AI to affect them. This would mean that any humans who could threaten an AI would find themselves distracted or worse by legal, financial, social network reputational, and possibly medical problems. Nanotech isn’t required.
Yes, that seems like a movie threat notion to me, if an AI has the power to do those things to arbitrary people it likely can scale up from there so quickly to full control that it shouldn’t need to bother with such steps, although it is minimally plausible that a slow growing AI might need to do that.
