Gaming the Future: Technologies for Intelligent Voluntary Cooperation

Opportunities for bright futures enabled by bio, nano, and computing technologies are now within our reach. Their proliferation also comes with risks and authoritarian attempts at control. We explore how technologies of intelligent voluntary cooperation can help us navigate the traps. Cryptocommerce enables decentralized, secure cooperation across humans – and AIs. This unlocks Paretotropian futures of high technology in which valuing entities can pursue their highest function through iterative play.

This episode is a discussion on chapter 8 of the book: DEFEND AGAINST CYBER THREATS | Computer Security

Security in the physical realm is an extraordinarily hard problem, but an inescapable one. Our civilization now also rests on software infrastructure. Security in the digital realm is now also an inescapable problem. But the current software infrastructure is not just insecure, it is insecurable. Digital security is also extraordinarily hard, but it is differently hard. Reasoning by analogy with physical security is fraught with peril. Let’s begin by explaining how these realms differ, and how to approach computer security.
