I am currently working on a paper with the temporary title of: "Collaborative
Transhumanist Networks as Immunizing Agents Against Super-AI Viral Outbreaks" or
words to that effect.
I have reason to believe, which I'm elaborating in my paper, that networks of
transhumans have the potential of competing with super-AI's long enough to aquire
intelligence augmentation (presumably nanotechnology) sufficient to compete on a
level playing field with possible malign Super-AI's.
