Yeah I think that’s a good point. I mean I could see how you could send a civilisation the blueprints for atomic weapons and hope that they wipe themselves out or something, that would be very feasible.
I guess I’m a bit more skeptical when it comes to AI. I mean it’s hard to get code to run and it has to be tailored to the hardware. And if you were going to teach them enough information to build advanced AIs I think there’d be a lot of uncertainty about what they’d end up making, I mean there’d be bugs in the code for sure.
It’s an interesting argument though and I can really see your perspective on it.
