ASI ownership may be seized by force by whoever controls autonomous weapons
hecubian_devil · x · 2026-10-18
hecubiandevil argues that even if you build ASI, ownership may not stay with the builders: at some capability/scale of autonomous weapons, whoever controls killer drones has every incentive to take the ASI by force if you haven't integrated it yourself. She highlights the core contradiction — building something that could destroy the social order while your control depends on others respecting property rights. EigenGender agrees it's a real but not top-tier ASI risk worth planning against.
