The devil&#x27;s in the details. Lets suppose for the sake of argument that your AI actually only takes as much material and technology as a modern high end server to build, say $2000 worth of labor and materials. How does the AI suddenly have billions of dollars worth of materials (and initially only human labor) available to do this sort of manufacturing and research? And mustn&#x27;t human beings be complicit in providing this material and building the factories to scale the production of these experimental units? It certainly wouldn&#x27;t be able to accomplish this herculean task in a bunker without people knowing about it. The AI doesn&#x27;t spring forth from the womb godlike, able to access the resources of nations to do this. &quot;Feasible&quot; in this case means feasible with the massive compliance of human beings, probably initially for years.
