In this article there is an implied step in which, when AI becomes ASI, then as a natural consequence it is suddenly in control over humanity. How should this play out? It hacks all nuclear launch sites and starts to make demands that we are forced to follow? Takes control overnight of all computers on the planet and locks humans outside? Is that even possible? Even so can't it be stopped by turning off datacenters and network connections? How does it take control of all the airgapped facilities (which would be the most "useful" in a takeover)?

I think it's too big of a question to leave it as an unexplained implication.

Also in the not/ASI scenarios, they imply a worldwide adoption in a short time. The world is still adopting inventions such as the internet, email or even electricity in some parts of the world. Why should they instead adopt AI overnight?

Germany, third largest economy in the world and largest economy in Europe, is still very much not digitalized. The whole country runs mostly on paper, hand signed contracts and notifications sent by post. As a country, they still have to adapt to email and the internet. Japan is similar for what I heard.

I find this article good food for thought, but it misses some crucial pieces.
