'They're way smarter than us,' you opine, 'Who knows what they really want? Perhaps it's time for a bit of pre-emptive action.'
Who was that German statesman-in-waiting of the interwar years? The one who said:
"... not more intelligent than we are, only more subtle and cunning." That would be Der Angriff then, on 21 January 1929.
Or, "Either he destroys us, or we render him harmless. No other alternative is conceivable." From the political novel, Michael, first published in 1929.
Yes, same guy. His name will come to mind in a moment.
And who was this? “Literally everyone on Earth will die,” (if superhuman AI is built). The recommendation being the destruction of a 'rogue data centre' by a pre-emptive air strike.
History: such a treasure trove.
