"A.I is drunk" is a intriguing theme.
Imagine fighting the Terminator, but you know it's just an LLM, drunk on power, always hallucinating, and shooting targets that do not exist.
You are not even sure if it will achieve destroying humans before destroying itself...
In any case, no A.I. was used to make this story. I wrote it myself.
Please have a look at my other stories, on arseneoaa.me, I am looking for feedback on how to improve them.
Yes, engaging a huge attack directly this way would mean having in the end a lot of regular users spinning up gupax.
But the main benefit here is that for me and anyone else doing that, it's practically free to run the miner.
We don't need to have a million users running gupax, it starts with 10, then 100, then 1000, then more.
We don't need to reach a million in any case. Each additional miner, as small as his share is, is a direct additional cost for the attacker.
The small miners can add hashrate for free, and the attacker always needs to compensate that and add some more on top.
Remember, this attack is expensive for the attacker, and its funds are limited.
This asymmetry is key, don't let the whale discourage the shrimps from banding together.
And as Malcom X said, don't let your enemy tell you how many of you there are.
