A duality to play with. The internet was originally developed to be resistant to nuclear weapons. Digital defense against physical attack. Assume AI can eventually do anything a human can do digitally. What are potential physical defenses to a digital attack?

The fundamental concept is that the digital/analog interface is highly nontrivial and introduces a lot of friction. Basically, the physics of the physical world bounds AI. And so does math in the form of cryptography. t.co/rWT4gvEL7r

See also @SergeyNazarov’s thread, where he discusses how cryptographic verifiability can put fences around AI. Even a very smart thing can’t break out of a cryptographic cage. No amount of computation can feasibly solve certain kinds of math problems. t.co/UVVDcnfW6N
