We're thinking in tandem, here. Some options:
- destroy/replace worst polluters & technologies
- asteroid mining & renewable tech

Here is something I can't parse well:
We can simulate, by some rudimentary criteria, the intelligence of certain not-so-quick animals. By combining that with superhuman processing speed, memory handling, clarity about goals etc., you can create pockets of superhuman performance.

We can see that human cognition fucks itself in our environment. But humans are full of biological redundancies and failsafe systems.
You can put a bunch of human-made complex systems into play and QA them to hell and back, but what happens when they interact organically?

My feeling is that the sheer dysfunction of these systems will dwarf any human capacity for BS. And I'm not sure you can meaningfully silo them.
How do you limit the interactions of an autonomous car with its environment? Secure tunnels?
