In βif anyone builds it everyone diesβ the authors argue exactly this - one of the defences against super intelligent AI is that it canβt enact but there will always be ppl willing to do its bidding

I mean, this is just human to AI to human, in one sense. But it has that Total Dystopia vibe about it.
