Donald Trump managed to get control of the US nuclear arsenal



Yes, now we are getting somewhere. Donald Trump managed to somehow get control in a very limited sense of the US nuclear arsenal.

First of all, how did he get this control? Certainly it was not via his profound intelligence, but because other humans chose to give him control.

Second of all, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if Donald Trump had ordered a nuclear strike in a situation where it was not consistent with US nuclear weapons doctrine, his command would have been disobeyed and the 25th amendment would have been enacted poste haste.

So again, how would an AGI be able to get into office or into another position of power? And how would it be able to order a nuclear strike in a situation inconsistent with nuclear doctrine and not be overriden by those lower in the chain of command? Why would there be different rules applying to the AGI as compared to the human?

your entire "argument" is based on arrogant assumption after arrogant assumption
