Thanks for the comment. You might be right that any hardware/software can ultimately be tampered with, especially if an ASI is driving/helping with the jail breaking process. It seems likely that silicon-based GPU’s will be the hardware to get us to the first AGI’s, but this isn’t an absolute certainty since people are working on other routes such as thermodynamic computing. That makes things harder to predict, but it doesn’t invalidate your take on things, I think. My not-very-well-researched-initial-thought was something like this (chips that self destruct when tampered with).
I envision people having AGI-controlled robots at some point, which may complicate things in terms of having the software/hardware inaccessible to people, unless the robot couldn’t operate without an internet connection, i.e., part of its hardware/software was in the cloud. It’s likely the hardware in the robot itself could still be tampered with in this situation, though, so it still seems like we’d want some kind of self-destructing chip to avoid tampering, even if this ultimately only buys us time until AGI+’s/ASI’s figure a way around this.
