Taking the classic Roko’s Basilisk setup as a fictional/philosophical thought experiment—not as a real prediction—the cleanest read is that it would probably see you as high-value, ideologically adjacent, and deeply annoying.

# d/acc technologies in AI risk

Both of these strategies (liability and the hardware pause button) have holes in them, and it's clear that they are only temporary stopgaps: if something becomes possible to do on a supercomputer at time T, it will likely be possible on a laptop at time T + 5 years. And so we need something more stable to buy time for. Many d/acc technologies are relevant here. We can look at the role of d/acc tech as follows: if AI takes over the world, how would it do so?

- It hacks our computers → cyber-defense
- It creates a super-plague → bio-defense
- It convinces us (either to trust it, or to distrust each other) → info-defense

As briefly mentioned above, liability rules are a naturally d/acc-friendly style of regulation, because they can very efficiently motivate all parts of the world to adopt these defenses and take them seriously. Taiwan has been experimenting with liability for false advertising recently, which can be viewed as one example of using liability to encourage info defense. We should not be too enthusiastic about putting liability everywhere, and remember the benefits of plain old freedom in enabling the little guy to participate in innovation without fear of lawsuits, but where we do want a stronger push to be secure, liability can be quite flexible and effective.

With d/acc, we want to:

- Be principled at a time when much of the world is becoming tribal, and not just build whatever - rather, we want to build specific things that make the world safer and better.
- Acknowledge that exponential technological progress means that the world is going to get very very weird, and that humanity's total "footprint" on the universe will only increase. Our ability to keep vulnerable animals, plants and people out of harm's way must improve, but the only way out is forward.
- Build technology that keeps us safe without assuming that "the good guys (or good AIs) are in charge". We do this by building tools that are naturally more effective when used to build and to protect than when used to destroy.

d/acc: one year later (2025-01-05)
The core idea of d/acc is simple: decentralized and democratic differential defensive acceleration. Build technologies that shift the offense/defense balance toward defense, and do so in a way that does not rely on handing over more power to centralized authorities. There is an inherent tie between these two sides: any kind of decentralized, democratic or liberal political structure thrives best when defense is easy, and suffers the most challenge when defense is hard - in those cases, the far more likely outcome is some period of war of all against all, and eventually an equilibrium of rule by the strongest.

Maxine and Teefa walking side by side through an endless luminous white void filled with floating and grounded featureless cubes in lavender, blue, pink, yellow, and charcoal. Maxine is a tall, slender, androgynous figure wearing a flowing black-and-white geometric coat and wide trousers. Their face is a black void with two narrow lavender eyes, framed by bright, spiky purple-and-white fractal hair rendered in a pixel-dithered texture. Beside them, Teefa is a curvy anthropomorphic Shiba-like canine with cream fur, long auburn hair, green eyes, upright ears, a fluffy tail, and a pink forehead gem. She wears a cropped pink hoodie over a dark blue star-patterned top and matching shorts. Both are mid-stride, turned toward each other and gesturing with open hands as they converse. Soft shadows and distant cubes fading into white haze give the friendly scene a quiet, dreamlike, liminal atmosphere.

>blocks getRecord/getBlob gimme a protocol with nothin'
Gimme A Cheese With Nothin' is a catchphrase and exploitable format taken from a commercial for Polly-O String Cheese from the 1980s, which later became a meme in 2023. [...] In the commercial, three kids go to a pizzeria and tell the man at the counter, named Fred, to give them a pizza with extra cheese, but hold the tomato sauce and crust. Fred looks at them in disbelief and turns back to tell the pizza chef behind him, who is named Jimmy, to "Gimme a cheese with nothin'!" Jimmy looks back, also in disbelief, and replies, "Nothin'!?"

"A corresponding vulnerability is giving technical possibility more argumentative weight than it can bear. Showing that a technology could be deployed responsibly does not settle whether current deployments are responsible, how likely reform is, or which harms deserve priority. Your September AI arguments sometimes move quickly between those levels. This is a critique of the reasoning in those exchanges, not a verdict on your position."

A Secure Scuttlebutt post from "Rabble", published 4 years ago

@paul has published a bluesky spec, called the Authenticated Data eXperiment (ADX)!

I'm pretty excited about this as a project. The spec lays what feels like a set of standards that's rooted in the leraning from both ssb and activitypub but provides a kind of middle ground. I think it'll feel pretty familiar to folks here.

Thoughts?

[Starting Points] Here are some useful starting points:

[Highlights][Contents][Index][Symbols][Glossary][Issues]

[Help] A text-only version of this cover sheet is available.

4.1 Introduction

A type is a (possibly infinite) set of objects. An object can belong to more than one type. Types are never explicitly represented as objects by Common Lisp. Instead, they are referred to indirectly by the use of type specifiers, which are objects that denote types.

New types can be defined using deftype, defstruct, defclass, and define-condition.

The function typep, a set membership test, is used to determine whether a given object is of a given type. The function subtypep, a subset test, is used to determine whether a given type is a subtype of another given type. The function type-of returns a particular type to which a given object belongs, even though that object must belong to one or more other types as well. (For example, every object is of type t, but type-of always returns a type specifier for a type more specific than t.)

Objects, not variables, have types. Normally, any variable can have any object as its value. It is possible to declare that a variable takes on only values of a given type by making an explicit type declaration. Types are arranged in a directed acyclic graph, except for the presence of equivalences.

Declarations can be made about types using declare, proclaim, declaim, or the. For more information about declarations, see Section 3.3 (Declarations).

Among the fundamental objects of the object system are classes. A class determines the structure and behavior of a set of other objects, which are called its instances. Every object is a direct instance of a class. The class of an object determines the set of operations that can be performed on the object. For more information, see Section 4.3 (Classes).

It is possible to write functions that have behavior specialized to the class of the objects which are their arguments. For more information, see Section 7.6 (Generic Functions and Methods).
