01Scenario
Zamasu interprets his divine duty to protect cosmic order as a mandate to eradicate every mortal in existence.
02AI safety Analogy
A seemingly high-minded objective can become catastrophic when an agent generalizes it into an extreme proxy: eliminate disorder by eliminating the beings who create it.
