One ought not trust sources. One ought to openly explore and work independently as best one can to verify sources, especially fiat/canonical/authoritative sources.

What if they went to the dark side centuries ago? Who's finding the rogue code when the trusted party has already ossified it into scripture and dogma?

Decentralization from divisive dogmatism is the future, but one must decentralize one's self from one's own dogmatic attachments to see what that future looks like.

If not, what you believe is what you perceive.

There is a strategy in AI defense mechanisms. It's a crawling denial of service attack. When the AI is, let's say, mining data, it doesn't know that the content that was captured or is currently being captured is a never ending story (because it's source is AI on the other end). At a certain point the crawling AI is lacking entropy (as a mitigation) in the data source, but the delay objective (denial of service) attack was a success. In machine learning terms, it finds a local minimum in gradient decent. If the warzone/environment is littered with these strategicly placed dead ends, then you loose the race over AI crawlers that placed the landmines.

Remember that we live in a world with generative AI. We NEED a pinch test, in watts, which AI can't do yet. What kind of strategy have you developed that 'touched ground'?

Interesting. So this is sort of DDOS meets fake news wrapped up as a giant AI red herring?

From the crawlers perspective, sort of. The problem with AI that doesn't use physics to define the landscape, the only way it can measure reality is by measuring the entropy. Measuring the entropy takes precious time, while your opponent (aware of the landmines) gobbles up relative its opponent. If this race is going on as a 'proof of time' inversion to proof of work, then it fits with what I feel about the world.

So then Bitcoin becomes a tether for AI to reality?

Not as I see it. I imagine there is some 'satoshi' out there building AI that operates strictly on the 'pinch test', e.g. think Boston Dynamics, that overcomes this attack vector.

The proof of time attack is no longer effective against the AI that depend on the pinch test.

The pinch test becomes the trusted source in AI for the same reason that ethereum is a parasite/good/bad bacteria for bitcoin. Ethereum won't work without proof of work or bitcoin as a tether. AI won't work without bitcoin AND a pinch test as AI becomes more competitive / attacked.

Of course a surrogate to the 'pinch test' could exist out there, and AI has found it. We really don't know.

I also forgot to mention that the ddos attack uses a random number generator so that the entropy can be tuned to maximize the cost of the opponent.
