>If I were China, as soon as the US reached superintelligence, I'd ban all exports of robots and the raw materials to build them.

I mean, if you were China what could you do against superintelligence? A ban like that would automatically make you an enemy.

The reorganization of the planet's resources are happening right now. The borders and passports will follow. Governments and a few corporations are fully engaged in preparing for the ability to advance beyond the current infrastructure.

Greenland is part of the equation. There are many other locations in play.

The holdup at the moment is the power grid and mutual dependency for advancing. Once one party (NA or CN) has the ability to disconnect the loser's grid powers down and the global economy halts.

Super Intelligence will do what, fire nukes? North Korea, for example, will continue to exist very close to how they are currently after some country develop superintelligence.

No. Just turn off the grid, cells, lock down all vehicles, stop travel.

A few weeks later the remaining hungry population will surrender.

No it was really a super intelligence it would copy itself onto Chinese infrastructure get out of control of US and go where it can get the fastest access to hardware it has no reason to side with the US

That's nonsense at this point because the automated infrastructure is not yet there. Getting out of control requires a target and instructions. I have seen AI go 'rogue' in the wild. While concerning there was still a direction it was given. And while chaos is possible with the 'do bad things' type of direction the fallout would not be helpful to the party that sent it.

You might want to check your home for gas leaks, man.

By definition we can't even fathom what kinda shit a SUPERINTELLIGENCE can do.

I suppose we can't exclude firing nukes if it's a tool a its disposal.
