Joshua Fox,could you give an example scenario of how an AGI theorem-prover would wipe out humanity?

This is not true. You assume a general intelligence, but then you also assume that this general, smart-as-a-human AGI is driven by a motivational system so incredibly stupid that it is barely above the level of a pocket calculator. Almost certainly, such a system would not actually work. With a motivational system as bad as that, it would never get to be an AGI in the first place. Hence your assertion that "humanity will be wiped out by accident" is completely untenable.
