It has to create an independent computational infrastructure before killing all people. Yudkowsky’s plan with nanobots ensures this, other plans don’t.
independent computational infrastructure doesn’t seem that hard—house with a computer and solar panels might do. What seems harder is it would need an independent manufacturing infrastructure capable of bootstrapping to arbitrarily complex products.
