In hindsight, the counterbalance to the threat of AI will be obviously Bitcoin. Here's the billion dollar answer that nobody seems to understand yet:
AI agent hackers = the inevitable end state of infinitely collapsing marginal cost of computation. Systems that are capable of outsmarting & exploiting any human-made cyber defense system that attemps to use conditional, permissioned-based logic alone.
Bitcoin = the world's chosen proof-of-work protocol. Want to defeat an AI agent hacker? you can't rely on conditional logic alone. you have to introduce something into the equation that AI can't defeat: brute-force physical limitations. AI's Achilles heal is computational cost, and it just so happens that the world has adopted a proof-of-computational-work protocol where we treat the electro-mechanical cost of computing as a tradeable digital asset that can be used as a form of restrictive collateral: it's called Bitcoin.
Understand this, and you understand the fundamentals about how Bitcoin will become the thing that ALL computing systems rely on to defend them against the threat of AI.
"digital gold" barely even scratches the surface of the importance of Bitcoin in 2030 and beyond.
