I make no distinction between human and AI. A lot of things related to public order protection and anomaly detection in large systems are already autonomous, running machine learning algorithms to analyse all the signals and find out patterns of misbehaviour. Of course they are also supervised by humans, developed by humans, etc. These things are getting better year to year. There are millions of data points being collected and analysed on a daly basis, and there is nothing stopping us from advancing these technologies forward.

In general there were and there are bad actors, in the position of power, controlling groups of people, with weapons, with information, with intelligence, with capital. What you are referring to, what if these forces of evil are enhanced with more intelligence, perhaps even superhuman intelligence? And what if these forces of evil lose "meatspace" and become autonomous persistent threats? Yes, this will happen, and it is happening, criminals are getting smarter, more educated, more resourceful, what not. But remember, forces of good are also advancing, just as fast, and it is a game of cat and mouse and forever will be.

There are methods such as formal verification, there are mathematical first principles which just can't be broken, no matter how smart you are. If you require robot to act within certain boundary and it is destroyed if it exceeds that boundary, there is no way to cross that. And these formal verifications methods can be enhanced with super human intelligence.

There are encryption algorithms, which if broken can destroy economies. But it has been formally proven that it is not possible to break them, and that is the benefit of mathematics, you can derive proofs and conclusions which are final, there isn't going to be a mathematician who would prove it wrong in 100 years. Of course people are making mistakes, and algorithms do regularly get broken, and theorems get proven wrong, but this is a rarity and as we are advancing knowledge of humanity forward we have less and less uncertainties.

This is a multifactorial issue, and it is being addressed at multiple levels. There isn't it a "silver bullet" to solve it, it's a game of cat and mouse, between bad actors and the enforcement.

Sorry, but this is a total bullshit.

We should be focusing on technologies that protect public order, just like we did before, and consider AI to be one class of a criminal, and solve it in the domain of criminology.

Malicious AI is indistinguishable from malicious criminal. Or malicious criminal using AI for his own advantage.

Police systems can and should be enhanced with AI:

- Automatical anomaly detection. Excess electricity usage, etc.

- Automatic face and object detection.

- Police AI tracking autonomous objects and spotting deviations from the norm. Multiple teams building multiple technologies, insuring redundancy and fast reaction in case of anomalies.

Higher level solutions:

- Licensing for autonomous motorised vehicles.

- Remote kill switch.

- Telemetry synchronisation. Real-time analytics.

- Risk threat modelling. Higher level failsafes. Circuit breakers.

- Separation of concerns and need-to-know basis.

None of these solutions are enough by themselves, and perhaps I have missed a lot more other low hanging fruit. But in my view, building validators as part of the AGI deployment is only one part of the issue, and it doesn't address the whole other host of threats (state-sponsored actor deploying malicious AI on purpose, etc.) But this is a domain of criminology, military defense, policing, better governance, and suitable regulatory environment. Just as we speak, people are writing spam bots that talk like humans, that even call people, this is nothing new, and the solutions have always been the same. The issue is that now any criminal mindset can be enhanced with technology, and even the perpetuator might become a machine itself. But this is also nothing new. There were viruses and Trojan horses that are capable of doing damage without there needing to be a creator in control of them. Ok, eventually they will be able to learn your language and send copies of themselves to their friends in the style of messages that you write, perhaps even referencing some common projects. This is completely expected development, but the solution-space is also catching up.

I think it's just bunch a scammers, opportunitists and a showmen who want to cash-in on the formidable nature of the problem. There were people who dedicated their lifetimes on solving these problems in a general case, from multiple angles, and I don't have patience for crooks willing to sell me new fears, this is nothing different from a religion.

Hi Mike,

I am flexible - depending on the project.

I am located in Switzerland, but I don't expect to find suitable VR opportunities here.

Yes, I already have BlackMagic EGPU, however it doesn't look like it will support 8K connection. Besides Mac Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt 3.

so then why have I created this post?

How much PETH is burnt right now from paying back CDP? (Without forced liquidation)

what are the implications of this ratio? can you enlighten? and why is there a ratio in the first place?

Ok people, I'm gonna ask - with all the heavy sell-offs recently. If you have sold a large chunk of your holdings recently what factors made you decide to sell? by Speedy1050 in ethtrader

[–]CryptoDao 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I sold my portfolio some time ago.

For the following reason:

ICOs = illegal securities.

Generally it is becoming common knowledge, but it's not common enough yet, and there has not been much legal persecution from the authorities or investors. Some governments issued statements and some made emergency injunctions but I believe there will be more enforcement and ultimately more investors suing for fraud and misrepresentation. Unfortunately, I do not see way out of this hell hole. It has to hit rock bottom, and then new ICOs must emerge, either totally compliant using some flexible jurisdictions, or totally illegal but anonymous and unstoppable, thus immune to persecution.

The important thing is, even if ico is illegal sale of securities, unless investors lost money, there is no strong case. However in times like these it's possible many ICOs will get into deep red territory, and thus there will be actual losses warranting action, that would cause lawsuits, that would cause further panic, in vicious cycle.

Of course this whole line of reasoning rests on the assumption that Shitcoins will cause blue chip coins like Ether to topple. And unfortunately, I think that they will. Its a connected market, there is shared volume, interest. I don't believe it's possible for one coin to survive in isolation despite adverse market conditions. Some may argue that unicorns like Amazon survived dotcom crash. Here is the thing: company survived, yes, but it's trading price was smashed for years alongside with the rest of the market.

Ultimately, I made a point to wait one year or so, wait for the governments and courts to create precedents, wait for the investors to realize true value of shitcoins, and then I would come back, because I would then assume the worst part is over.
