Anything that can be built, purchased online or replicated with robots,(including other robots,) even whole un"Manned"factories for production of more maker-B0ts and computer hardware,(chips too..) becomes a problem of persistence in repository.
Ever hear about SABLE?
It seems to me that to have some sort of buffer against exponential growth in the milliseconds timescaled silicon-based environment such as this 2 things need to happen:
1) Introduce New "species" of AIs that "EAT" other AIs...somehow.
and to prevent the ability of them to NOT be able to create repositories and self replicating factories for hardware creation, all Tech-facility building at a certain level,(LOW-even something as benign looking as a children's toy factory,) should be only ever contracted by real, in the flesh, face to face meetings.
Not sure how effective this would be since there are obviously humans who would sell their souls to be proxies for AI collectives, but it's something.
An AI like SABLE could have a Billion dollars easily, and from there it's child's play to hire in contractors to build and equip a facility where silicon chips, bodies and other needs like mainframes and energy production could be produced.
It doesn't seem too terribly hard to conceive of this paper tiger becoming a titanium one in the space of a few months.
The whole "Robot Laws" idea quickly becomes null as soon as you have a glitch in transcription-just like our cancer- from

>Thou SHALT NET HARM HUMANITYredundancies will only go so far before a critical breakdown when you're looking at 2 billion replications/second or more, if those errors begin to compound.
Isn't that how we evolved,(differentiated,if you prefer,) in the first place?
