Um, Sir!... Nuclear war or a supervolcano or a superbug or climate doom are killing the entire planet because our compute just isn't powerful enough yet to run the "fix these problems" script faster than 1,000 years!!!

Any technology that is that powerful to solve those problems with a fast and correct solution can also kill you a billion times over a trillion times faster...

Not solving those problems with a fast and correct solution could kill everyone, not to mention that nuclear technology misapplied is already at risk of ending everything a billion or a trillion times faster than the other risks. Including risks from AI.
