Personally, I find epic massive Byzantine attacks far more interesting. For example, imagine if a gangster were so suave that he could walk into any ghetto and immediately become the local mob boss. These things are computationally possible. In fact, these attacks happen in nature. I find the Grey Goo Problem far more threatening. https://medium.com/@yanazendo/the-grey-goo-problem-bd495813c...

Here's how anyone can solve Go. Just use cash money to rig professional Go games, just like a gangster. P~NP because there always exists a way to make any intractable problem tractable.
