The AI 2027 post is high quality, I encourage people to read it at https://ai-2027.com/ 

I argue a misaligned AI will not be able to win nearly as easily as the AI 2027 scenario assumes, because it greatly underrates our ability to protect ourselves, especially given the (pretty magical) technologies that the authors admit will be available in 2029 in their scenario.

Hi Vitalik, 

Love this. The missing piece isn’t just tech defense—it’s epistemic defense.
Centralized “alignment” and closed audit are just new forms of hegemony.
What we need are open, adversarial, forkable truth protocols—call it an “epistemic immune system” for multipolar, anti-capture worlds.
That’s what I’ve been building (EIP)—all claims, audits, forks, and authority visible/challengeable, never locked to one actor, always open to public contest.
If you (or anyone) want to pressure-test or audit this kind of protocol, give me a shout.
