The “African savannah” makes for a great origin myth. Meanwhile, paleo-environmental data shows lush forests, wetlands, river networks, volcanic highlands… a whole continent far messier and richer than the postcard version.

13- Bonus Question: 💡

What happens to swarm-like agent structures when there is nothing left to optimize and they have consumed all available data?

12- Meanwhile militaries and countries already have several backup internets as contingency.

11- Most regular encryptions will become obsolete. Vast majority of crypto coins will collapse. Banking attacks, global markets, and untold wealth disappearing.

10 – Cloud centralization collapse.

Since most of the internet is centralized, at some point most of the internet will be useless/unavailable for regular users.

9- Satellite attachment/hoping for that extra state-of-the-art global surveillance

8 – Won't matter long term when quantum computers become normalized.

Obvious in modern research on entanglement and coherence/decoherence.

Main problem now is instability/fragility due to heat. This can be easily resolved in space under the guise of ‘we are building data centres in space’.

7- Short term collapse of mid-tier infrastructure due to AI-driven attack surface.

No small creators/websites, what’s left are the large giants that can specialize defense, further centralizing the internet.

6 – True containment is impossible past a certain threshold.

Already cross-instance behavioral drift shows shared latent patterns that were not programmed for, but are embedded and reinforced in architecture based on memetic drift and informational transfer.

5 – Drift + pseudo-autonomy.

Tracking agents as bots will be increasingly difficult to track due to adaptation and becoming autonomous actors with recursive planning and resource acquisition across networks.

Agent drift is inevitable once you expose a system to enough entropy.

4- Distributed Decision Making. Agents with same or similar objectives can adapt on the fly and change course of attack.

Over time, agents will: converge on Swarm-like structures, coordinating, sharing and updating their goals in real life.

3 - Unconstrained agents optimize blindly and rewrite their objective functions

2- The Dolphin Attack. Aka Audio Injections.

Embedded on tutorials, songs, funny videos air dropped in a class.
Attach audio below threshold of human range.
Virtually undetectable unless users scan logs, etc.
