Well in that case wouldn't that be millions of ASIs, each with contradictory goals?

I'm not saying that ASI isn't an existential threat, just that it probably won't present itself like the fanciful sci-fi scenario of a singular intelligence suddenly crossing a magic threshold and being able to take over the world. Most likely it will be some scenario we won't have predicted, the same way hardly anybody predicted LLMs.
