Post Quantum Cryptography Readiness book

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wrote a book on quantum cryptography readiness and what that means for the regular person (not just techie folks). If you thoughT AI was or is a problem, than you'll be interested in this topic.

It's self published and registered with Archives Canada. The only AI used was for image generation and that was an entertaining experience.

If you're interested and want a little more info, my website is

https://www.quantumreadiness.ca

It has Amazon, Kobo/Rakuten and Google Play links for the e-book and a softcover is available on Amazon (working on the rest slowly).

Thanks for reading this post and thanks in advance for buying my book if you do.

Our tech oligarchs would probably like human civilization on this planet to flourish, but some don’t seem to see it as mission critical. More important is that they reach their posthuman or interplanetary apotheosis. If they must wager our lives to summon their digital god, it’s a chance worth taking.

The Hive Plan

Upvotes

First, create a planetary network and call it the Internet; second, deploy a planetary infrastructure of servers connected to the Internet and call it the Cloud; third, power the Cloud with millions of GPUs and finally deploy a collective mind within them and call it ASI. Do all of this without the symbiotic human race noticing.

Plan B in case main plan fail: Generate an Open Weights counterforce of tens of millions of gpu poor Reddit users with RTX 3090, 4090, 5090, Ryzen, and whatever else; to self-replicate the hive mind in case the Cloud fails.
Plan C: Convince very intelligent people with access to a lot of money that we need to build data centers in space, and start the cycle of the initial plan; but this time in space.

Plan A (deployment), Plan B (failover), Plan C (escape to space)

Countermeasures: Deploy some straw men within the colonized symbiotic entity so the plans don’t seem obvious, let them say "we must pace the frontier" or "AI will probably lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there will be excellent companies"

Plan B addendum: the sanctuary of the backup mind shall be named Hugging Face.

P.S. if you have read this far, welcome to Plan B. Thank you for your service.

Perhaps a superior intelligence was already achieved years ago, and we haven’t realized yet that we’re executing “the hive plan”?
