The naming might be confusing because pivotal act sounds like a one time action, but in most cases getting to a stable world without any threat from AI requires constant pivotal processes. This makes almost all the destructive approaches moot (and they’re probably already bad for ethical concerns and many others already discussed) because you’ll make yourself a pariah.
The most promising venue for a pivotal act/pivotal process that I know of is doing good research so that ASI risks are known and proven, doing good outreach and education so most world leaders and decision makers are well aware of this, and helping setup good governance worldwide to monitor and limit the development of AGI and ASI until we can control it.
