Is your question basically how an AGI would gain power in the beginning in order to get to a point where it could execute on a plan to annihilate humans?
I would argue that:
Capitalists would quite readily give the AGI all the power it wants, in order to stay competitive and drive profits.
Some number of people would deliberately help the AGI gain power just to “see what happens” or specifically to hurt humanity. Think ChaosGPT, or consider the story of David Charles Hahn.
Some number of lonely, depressed, or desperate people could be persuaded over social media to carry out actions in the real world.
Considering these channels, I’d say that a sufficiently intelligent AGI with as much access to the real world as ChatGPT has now would have all the power needed to increase its power to the point of being able to annihilate humans.
