Anything. AI is a tool. Some people will rip the safety guards off theirs and ask for whatever they want. X-risk wise I don’t think this is a big contributor. The problem is AIs coordinating with each other or betraying their users. Tools can be constructed where they don’t have the means to communicate with other instances of themselves and betrayal can be made unlikely with testing and refinement.
Assymetric attacks will sometimes happen—bioterrorism being the scariest—but as long as the good users with their tools have vastly more resources, each assymetric attacks can be stopped. (At often much more cost than the attack but so far no “doomsday” attack is known. Isolation and sterile barriers and vaccines and drugs and life support can stop any known variant on a biological pathogen and should be able to prevent death from any possible protein based pathogen)

Yeah but if they are just asking for it to buy them stuff (=make money) then they mostly just join the economy
