AGI will decisively obsolete blockchains, but it's likely it'll be obsolete for all but 1 or 2 usecases well before then (few years) as non-blockchain P2P, ZK, trust infrastructure develops Where blockchains are limited to only objective strict consensus, AGI(s) can achieve complex, subjective consensus - "AGI will use blockchains" is a silly, nonsensical meme not unlike "telegraphs will use internet" Valuable cryptoassets like BTC and ETH will live on after blockchains are obsolete because, as I've said a hundred times before, this is a socioeconomic movement, and tech is only means to an end. The tech will be replaced, the socioeconomics will live on. Caveat: "AGI" is in itself a meme, so I'm assuming it'll do what people popularly expect

I see the point here, a counter view I have been exploring (still early and may have mistakes) is: AGI likely wants to guarantee its livelihood and as long as it’s in a centralized server it is at risk; as such, it will likely need a blockchain-like structure in order to remain immutable. Advancements in ZK, P2P etc are great, but immutability will always require blockchains in order to preserve state across multiple devices right?

Besides Polynya's response which, yikes we are all rekt haha, my thought is maybe by immutable you mean more like, secure from meddling or something, not actually fully immutable as in no upgrades allowed. In that case I think an AGI might just do something like accelerate towards an asteroid belt data center and manufacturing base.

why would AGI seek to be immutable? humans want to live forever, but we wanna be resilient, not turn ourselves into statues
