I am only part way through but I think there is a big issue of timing.[0] I don't think a super-intelligent AI would kill us all unless it could replace all necessary (for its own survival) human functions such as building maintenance, energy production, and chip production. There is still a lot of advancement in robotics necessary, isn't there?

I realize that only gives us some more time in this scenario, but it does seem to be an important issue to me.

What if it’s smart enough to kill us all but not smart enough to see the long term implications of that decision?

That's a fair point. I assumed "super" intelligence would be smart enough to understand the supply chain which leads to its own existence.
