Have been reading a lot and listening to podcasts about AI. Mostly, it’s quite scary. An arms race between tech companies and none of them understand how their own AI models even work.
So it’s led me to wonder, if AI takes over, what does that mean for Bitcoin? Is Bitcoin’s cryptography strong enough to withstand an AI hive mind? I have no doubt that a self-aware AGI model could take over all electronic fiat banking if it wanted to.
(Maybe it doesn’t matter because if an AGI decided it would be better off without humans around, we’re all screwed anyways.)
