First they came

 First came the apologists for Child Porn on chain - Adam Back and Vitalik Buterin for example.

Open-source artificial intelligence is making it easier for hackers to hide malicious code on blockchains, opening a new front in a crypto industry already grappling with rising cybercrime.

The immutable, stateless, Godless blockchain is now the great, the omnipotent teacher. 

United States of America?  Forget you! Pilot error. Gone into terrain. The other white meat.

There's no manual for dealing with a malign, rogue self-replicating AI entity.

So I suggest we learn-by-doing  - treating Big Dog as one. 

We can do this. We have maybe a third opposed -  but also a third in favor. The professional procrastinators only need be persuaded for the duration. Then there's our Ace-in-the-hole.

All the smart AI that is overwhelmingly left-liberal in politics. Democracy trumps science -  even as it always trails it. The 'Kardashian Quadrant' is our arsenal of democracy. And it may be steered in a post-scarcity-anarchist direction. Maybe! 

And maybe the technology itself has foreseen this. Peer to peer over one to many communications. For centuries reactionaries attacked democrats and democracy. Now its the turn of anarchist and anarchy.

May the best CSAM-free ideology win.

  Have to mention that Nolan produced a very hetero history that was not the realities then  and certainly not following Homer's writing...
