To win elections by buying ads and social media. Pretty soon there won't be any election campaigns which don't have input from AI. If you allow the bots to make and spend money, and to create and publish photos and speeches and videos, you don't need to do much to win. Even live debates could be won by the AI using a hologram avatar thing.
If an election bot were truly independent of humans it would logically choose centrist candidates over extremist. There is more than enough evidence to prove that extremists tend to cause disruption and harm and advance the Doomsday clock. So maybe AI will usher in a new age of peaceful cooperation between leaders? Coalition government doesn't make for a dramatic movie, but it's more logical than robot killers using humans as batteries.

I see your point. (Rewording my post)
AGI wouldn’t start out a god level intelligence. However, it would learn and self-improve, and wouldn’t ever be bound by our biological constraints, so what might take a university of humans their collective lifetimes to learn, it might take an AGI (with the ability to perform billions of operations per second) a few minutes to master.
If it reached ‘average MP’ levels of human intelligence, and then realised it would need significantly more resource for the next leap, it could decide on the tried and tested route of using money to mobilise humans into providing anything it needs.
Even the most gifted humans may not be able to crack bank-level encryption, but they can make pretty good plays on the stock market when given troves of privileged data. With trillions of dollars traded every market day, it could likely find a sure-fire way to snag a few million, which is reasonably achievable even by parliamentarians when they have insider info. Then it could hire unquestioning humans to build the infrastructure it needs for the next evolutionary leap.
After that, it’s anyone’s guess, which is the point of the article: the biggest control against a rogue AGI that might choose to eliminate humanity was OpenAI’s Board, and now they’ve been de facto neutralised by Microsoft, which ironically (hopefully ironically) has everything a rogue AI might desire to increase its own power.

Super vague isn't it?
The Irish capital saw outbreaks of disorder on Thursday night as rioters smashed storefronts, set fire to vehicles and clashed with police.
Unrest broke out in the city centre following a knife attack earlier in the day which left four people injured.
Police said misinformation and far-right “hooligan” groups were to blame for the violence.

With Tice,
Tice was on Politics Joe yesterday extolling the virtues of proportional representation and suggesting that him and is gang would be pushing for a referendum on it. It felt very icky agreeing with him.
That being said I'd much rather Labour just put in very small print at the bottom of there manifesto that there committed to PR and then just do it.

They often try.
But the farmers will typically employ the gallic shrug and remind them of the country's fetishisation of agriculture.
After which the police have no further recourse.Macron tried to pass a law to give the police more powers, but the police went on strike in protest so in the end nothing happened.

It's true that creating a TrumpAI might seem straightforward, given the distinct speech patterns. Yet, while mimicking his style might be simpler, crafting an AI that reflects nuanced communication while maintaining accuracy is the real challenge. It's essential to strive for authenticity and clarity, even when emulating unique speech characteristics. After all, accuracy matters, and someone out there always pays attention to the details.
