Courtesy of XKCD, long before we have to contend with unfriendly AI (we have committees of AI-techs working on this problem already) we'll have to contend with someone like Musk or Bezos determined to own everything and capable of creating an AI-controlled army of killer robots.
We're not sure how rogue AI is going to manifest. We are sure rogue power-seeking humans exist all the time, and positions of power are commonly filled by them. (That's the primary argument for election by sortition, or by lottery.)

Ok, so to be clear, you're saying that AI x-risk is already partially or even mostly bundled under "We end stratified society and power disparity, or we die."?

Every single nuke in the world pointed at the same spot could not achieve anything even close to this.
This would require an asteroid/comet impact
.. an order of magnitude, or two, or three, more destructive than the chicxulub impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.The entire chicxulub impact crater is about the size of 'Mound Island'.
An impact this huge would probably shatter the crust of much of, if not the entire planet, and turn the entire atmosphere into fire.
I don't think there's anything that could make a crater like that on Earth. Like, an impact big enough to leave a crater that big would render the entire crust splashy enough to fill it back in.

Not a zionist, but I'd like to see russia get destroyed

I'm struggling to keep my hype in check. I've resolved to the occasional glace at their git log and dev updates channel.
Most of it is pretty slow, but in whole it is exciting.
The update log essentially seems to be look at these nice clouds I don't think we've seen any actual gameplay yet at all

Why? Only a couple people in that country actually cause the bad stuff

Yeah... from what I remember of dicking around in universe sandbox and space engine a while back... yeah, an impact this massive would ... well, now it makes more sense to model earth as a multilayered, viscous liquid, basically.
You could end up with a ring system or possibly some minor moons, made out of ejecta.
After basically the entire Earth has turned into 'the floor is lava' for... decades? centuries?

It is saying it in our real reality. And it should stop being so.
And the image isn't in our reality
You really think someone is going to nuke the middle east and humanity is going to survive a blast bigger than one that killed the dinosaurs? -
crazy how the bomb ignored the island in the middle, didn't know we had donut nukes
You can't convince me that isn't a nipple snuck in by the image creator.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That is a good assessment. Yes.
In fact, the race between capitalist interests to bypass safety and get operational AGI soonest is entirely about getting that power to be able to use it to hold everyone else hostage.

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.
But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.

the safest place is in the eye of the nuke

No, but they could create a thin glass crust over the whole area that would accomplish much the same effect.

Yeah, fair enough, I do agree that this is largely driven by capitalism, and if we didn't have a capitalist society we would hopefully be going about this more cautiously. Still, I feel like it's a unique enough situation that I would consider it its own x-risk.

And majority of people support them, also ruzzians are known to be barbarian slaver nation.
