Fun read, thanks for posting!

> If I had time to do it and if I knew more about how AIs work, I’d be putting my energies into building AIs whose sole purpose was to predate upon existing AI models by using every conceivable strategy to feed bogus data into them, interrupt their power supplies, discourage investors, and otherwise interfere with their operations. Not out of malicious intent per se but just from a general belief that everything should have to compete, and that competition within a diverse ecosystem produces a healthier result in the long run than raising a potential superpredator in a hermetically sealed petri dish where its every need is catered to.

This sort of feels like cultivating antibiotic-resistant bacteria by trying to kill off every other kind of bacteria with antibiotics. I don't see this as necessarily a good thing to do.

I think we should be more interested in a kind of mutualist competition: how do we continuously marginalize the most parasitic species of AI?

That quote sounded terrifying. It reminds me of The Incredibles, where (spoiler) the villain recruits superheroes to try to defeat his "out of control robot", in order to make it invincible.

I think we want AI to have an "achilles heel" we can stab if it turns out we need to.
