Ironically, it seems the only way to stop someone from building an omnipotent AI that could destroy the world is to build an omnipotent AI under your control faster than any of the people you need to destroy. If you believe in that sort of thing.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with AI is a good guy with AI.

AI's for everyone!!!! It's actually a scare but possible future. Everyone has to carry personal security AI that you rent from some Corpo, and if you don't you will be endlessly hacked and harassed in IRL just like we are online these days.

Or possibly just not allow anyone to accumulate enough compute power, given that even the largest model so far still isn't that.

Hence "if you're not willing to go as far as air strikes, you were never serious" or however he phrased it.

This is just the plot of War Games (1983).
