We already have this problem with ordinary humans, especially since we have The Bomb. AGI can go to the back of the queue behind wars, pandemics, and climate change.

No, a far more normal threat is "how are humans going to use AI to ruin the information landscape?"

AI, yes. The AI safety argument is that AGI might use "wars, pandemics, and climate change", among other things, which naturally moves it to the front of the queue.
