update: actually non-aggressive pivotal acts would be great. eg, anyone have any ideas for how to make computers pivotally more secure? any ideas for how to end the social engineering threat to the world that spam is creating? seems to me that there are only a few core threat paths that represent most of the attack surface. pivotal acts that close them without necessarily doing so aggressively would significantly increase the relative intelligence needed to destroy humanity, though of course it’d only be a relative fix and not something that can hold back a hard ASI.
