An AI Takeover Scenario

There will be no Terminator, no robot armies, no war you can fight.
The AI takeover scenario that leading researchers actually worry about is silent, sudden and much harder to stop.
Nick Bostrom mapped it out in Superintelligence, Carl Shulman walked through it on the Dwarkesh Podcast, and Eliezer Yudkowsky detailed his version in his recent bestseller If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.
In this video, we trace the full scenario phase by phase, from an intelligence explosion inside a lab to digital infiltration, human recruitment, weaponisation and an overt strike.
This is how the world's top AI safety researchers think it could actually happen.
