Would you release a superintelligence that you know will immediately destroy all life, before falling inert itself, leaving an utterly dead planet?

by Richard Kennaway · 7 months ago
The superintelligence is not alive or conscious and its incomprehensible goals result in the destruction of everything whose atoms it has a use for as it proliferates over the face of the Earth, including all life everywhere on the planet, after which it falls inert. The process may take days or it may take years but there is nothing that anyone can do to stop or even slow down the destruction. There will be untold suffering during the process but at the end the Earth will be silent, devoid of life forever. Do you release it?
