That's fair, but arguing something isn't possible is very different from arguing that when it happens you can solve it with a bomb. The conversation is about a hypothetical strong AI. You can say strong AI isn't possible, like you can say warp drives aren't possible, and it's still valid to discuss what it might be like if they were possible.
That's exactly like claiming it's still valid to discuss what it might be like if hypothetical aliens invaded the planet. Should we build some big lasers to protect ourselves just in case?
Entertaining perhaps, but ultimately pointless and silly.
Ok, that makes the post I'm replying to a non sequitur. Weak AIs in the short term are going to be hosted on AWS or Google cloud.
Is somebody going to take a JDAM to Google's data center in Atlanta or Amazon's data center in Seattle? Blow up Facebook in Palo Alto? Won't the US Air Force have a problem with that?
