As if it were so easy. You could already argue Facebook algos already facilitating genocides. Or radicalizing anti-vaxxers. And many others.
If an AI has gained the power to overthrow governments there’s no servers to unplug, because we probably rely so much on it that it’s similar to saying “unplug the internet” or “turn off all electricty”. Or frankly: “stop using oil”.

Facebooks algorithms are pretty close to this ability. But AI is not the problem - artificial consciousnesses would be, since it would gain own agency. And for all we know consciousnesses might be just a byproduct of a complex enough neuronal network with enough recursive loops and it already managed to appear more or less random at least once.
Just wait until we can replace this guy with a different AI.
I think this could be done with a simple if-statement
if AI.sencience = EVIL: os.system(‘shutdown -h fucking_now’)
Yea but that wouldn’t bring the necessary investors, right?
