I think if anything's going to save us from a generalised AI takeover it's this. Even if encrypting the world doesn't stop them it'll make computation too slow

I think if anything's going to save us from a generalised AI takeover it's this. Even if encrypting the world doesn't stop them it'll make computation too slow for world domination.
- jszymborski 9y agoIf I had $$$$ to fund one scientific endeavor, it'd certainly be HE hands down. There are a million different ways we're imminently hurtling down an empty abyss, and obviously if I was an inundated Texan or a general I might be more concerned about the environmental or nuclear apocalypse, but as a programmer the Cloud apocalypse is what concerns me the most.
- ballenf 9y agoCan you help a newcomer to this understand how HE could help prevent a generalised AI takeover? If it's generalized AI that is optimizing efficiency, wouldn't it quickly realize the large gain to be made by turning off HE? Or is that not possible?
- mlevental 9y agothis is the weirdest mishmash of hot buzzwords. what does generalized AI have to do with encryption? are you imagining that generalized AI would be magically able to crack RSA or whatever?

- quantdev 9y agoI'm pretty sure this guy was just making a joke about how slow computations on HE data is and you all are taking him seriously about generalized AI.
- Y_Y 9y agoI'm glad at least one person got it.
