* Why would an AGI (malevolent or otherwise) risk war when there's an entire galaxy[1] they can explore and countless planets full of resources that they could use?
* How can we ascribe super-human reasoning skills to an AGI in one breath, yet think the AGI would be content with making paper clips, collecting stamps, or smashing vases while cleaning, until heat death of the Universe in the next?
* My limited understanding of warfare is that wars are sparked over resources or ideology (or both). Ideological differences notwithstanding, what resources are specific to Earth that humans and AGIs would have in contention?
* Earth is only going to be habitable for another 500 million years before the Sun's expansion extinguishes most biological organisms (unless the planet's orbit is shifted). Wouldn't an AGI (abiotic or otherwise) be thinking in timelines that vastly outstrip our own?
* In light of the previous answers, what purpose (end goal) do you imagine an AGI would give itself?
* Why would that purpose involve enslaving or destroying humanity?
Pointers to research papers would be most welcome (e.g., Von Neumann–Morgenstern utility theorem).
