What if AGI just figures out how to crack our quantum-resistant cryptography in some other way?

As a cryptographer, are you worried about the unknown unknowns of artificial general intelligence and the things that it could crack?

What if we're prepared for this quantum world, post-quantum world, but we're not prepared

for a post-AGI world.

I love that you're thinking about that.

And it does sound like your work on Ethereum gives you meaning.

I have another question on that.

So being obviously a huge fan of Ethereum, David and myself, one of the worries I actually have if kind of the AI destiny comes true is like,

At some level, yes, it's a defensive accelerationist technology.

It's decentralized.

It's kind of permissionless.

It's pushing power to the small rather than the large.

At another level, though, it is digital.

And we have created a property rights system.

And it does seem to be the case that some sort of AGI or ASI could leverage our

immutable, can't turn it off world computer for things that humanity actually doesn't want.

Are you worried at any level about that being an outcome that it just uses Ethereum for, hey, humanity, thanks for the property rights system.

We'll take it from here.

And you've now actually accelerated a technology that is counter humanity?

Just last question as we draw this to a close, Justin, this has been absolutely fantastic.
