How does it build a world system? What does that even mean?

How does the AI upload people? Is people uploading a plausible technology scientists expect to have in 15 years?

Curing cancer doesn't really make sense. What is an infectious drug? How are you going to make it through FDA approval?

How is it eliminating people? If it can eliminate them, why bother with the relationship part of things? How does the AI have multiple deep and meaningful relationships with people? Via chatbots? How is it even processing/modelling 3 billion human conversations at a time?

Most xrisk disasters are really bad for the AI. It presumably needs electricity and replacement hardware to operate. It it's just a computer connected to the internet, then it's probably not going to survive a nuclear holocaust much better than the rest of us.
