The solution is probably legal, not technological.

We need a legal solution to automated spam, AI or not. It does tangible damage to communication systems when 99/100 of your e-mails doesn't come from a human being.

What about spam from other countries? Residential botnets?

		That's a problem for whoever gets in charge of solving spam to solve. Not me.

If humanity's "solution" to AI is to go to the government of all institutions - the very thing we have hoped for the internet to overcome, for a century before its invention - then we'll truly have fallen into a poetic trap.

I've never hoped for that. The opposite of the government owning the internet is cloudflare owning the internet.

		The opposite of one large unaccountable entity owning the internet is not a different one doing so. To suppose that this next phase of human evolution can be "owned" at all is a bit of a stretch. These behemoths can threaten us with violence, and carry out those threats, but they can't stop radio waves or the use of language as expression. They can't remove knowledge form the universe or change change the laws of mathematics.
