Note that there are quite a few ways that crypto implementations can be insecure even if it's proven to be "correct" (in terms of inputs and outputs). For instance, it may leak information through timing, or by failing to clear sensitive memory due to a compiler optimization.
Let's say hypothetically that the distribution of stock ownership was more even across the population, and variance was largely (but not completely) due to length of time in the workforce. And further, that the stock owned by workers is a large enough block that they effectively have controlling shares at many companies. Maybe I'm talking about a different universe, but please imagine it for a moment.
Would that hypothetical world be kind of like communism in the sense that the workers own the means of production? If not, why not?
If that's true, then perhaps AIs would come up with something just by looking at existing observations and "summarizing" them.
Far-fetched, but I try to keep an open mind.
