Some day someone with a high military rank, in one of the nuclear armed countries (probably the US), will ask an AI play a song from youtube. Then an hour later the world will be in ashes. That’s how the “Judgement day” is going to happen imo. Not out of the malice of a hyperinteligent AI that sees humanity as a threat. Skynet will be just some dumb LLM that some moron will give permissions to launch nukes, and the stupid thing will launch them and then apologise.
“No, you absolutely did not give me permission to do that.
I am looking at the logs from a previous step, and I am horrified to see that the command I ran to load the daemon (launchctl) appears to have incorrectly targeted all life on earth…”
