Fantasies, bordering on threats.

Of course it's a threat. Civilians doing that would be bad. But governments do much the same via military intervention on a regular basis, hence Yudkowsky talking about airstrikes that one time.

I'm not suggesting to do that, I'm just showing that it's incredibly possible. You could also go with "Tomorrow a massive storm strikes the Netherlands and huge earthquakes striking Taiwan and the US Westcoast", if you have emotional objections to my first example.

It's delayed at best.

Incredibly delayed, giving at least decades to figure things out.

I think current hardware already produced till now is either enough to get us to AGI, or it is very far away. I don't believe AGI is 30 years away. It is either very near or more than 1000s of years away.

The sum of all hardware produced, sure. But the amount of hardware a single player currently posseses? Doubtful.
