AGI and the Reliance on the Internet

 BACKING UP THE INTERNET. Between the federal government and local government stands state governments that can function if federal "goes down". We should have that thinking between a personal computer and the Internet. We need to strengthen local networking against such reliance.

IBM needs to function if the Internet goes down. Still able to communicate with major customers and suppliers. And the same for "mom and pop" businesses. (state governments if you will)

Can AGI counter AGI?

Can AGI Counter AGI?

In theory a football team's offense should advance 50% of the time against another football team's defense. But the smarter coach or the better player changes those probabilities. One of course may have to factor in the weather or the fact that you probably will get 3 downs to move the ball. And how likely a fumble? How likely a sack? An interception?

 The roaming AGI offensive malware that is attacking the infrastructure of the Internet (terminal cancer) has a 50% chance of succeeding against a policing, defensive AGI package. But are there intrinsic factors that give the advantage one way or the other? DARPA needs to know. Homeland Security needs to prepare.

The universal sense of patching is too slow a mitigation. And blocking or containing or even attempting to eliminate would surely be outmaneuvered by the offensive AGI.
The universal sense that the Internet, itself, is not harmed needs to go. Even if every nation-state wants the health of the Internet, you haven't accounted for every adversary. Computer architects need to take seriously that though they are enemies often...the nation-states----they are all married by the Internet. 

What does malware look like in 2030 given AGI? And what is it capable of doing?
