I can imagine a technology that aggressively defends its own openness, partly based on AI. E.g. any attempt to constrain it causes it to go full-on Chaos Monkey

  I think I understand what you meant (trying to detect bad actors through AI), but I don't think you need AI to do it. If it was easy to just buy a 3G radio and start hooking together nodes and create a new internet (with speed being a huge sacrifice), that could easily be the way forward. Bitcoin is a good example that basically raised the stakes for control to >50% of the nodes -- any other quorum system would do the same, but that basically moves the problem to "who has enough money to buy/confiscate lots of nodes". The real solution is something provably and completely decentralized. Maybe we need to go back to the stoneage -- create a new net, and start building the links one by one, person to person, and only use the traditional net as a place to store public keys or something.
