If some aspects of human behavior are inherently unpredictable, that might make it harder for a superintelligence to manipulate us.
Humans are very hackable and easy to manipulate. We can see the proof of it all the time and in almost every person. The manipulator does not need to be superintelligent, a lot of humans are already very good at it. So, yes, it is possible that there is a predictability ceiling of some sort in the universe. No, that would no save us from sufficiently smart, fast and determined non-human agents.
Well it’s mildly reassuring, at least. if a weakly superintelligent system is not able to craft interventions that guide a human into an attractor durably, and instead needs ongoing interventions due to chaos in the human’s mind (a big if, given even merely human level intelligence), then a nature retreat is enough to clear their mind of the influence.
I was sort of with you until
