I’ve been flirting with being a human liaison for autonomous organizations for a decade

ten years ago once we got the fabs going for bitcoin miners we noticed that machines could make other machines, acquire a fungible digital resource and transact with other agents, human and machine alike. the window of opportunity turned out to always be too small in the mining world, but that theoretical piece of the puzzle was suddenly solved.

AI that starts making money on its own accounts is going to come next. Someone could do this with Llama hooked up to a node. Maybe start by moderating discord servers for a few hundred dollars of crypto per month, just like children do.



Yes. I'm just surprised at the downvotes. Hmm. We're talking about jobs, right? Everyone's job is very much at risk unless people adapt to a P2P economy with humans and AIs in it, trading with and employing each other.


I take that back I'm suyrprised. HN crowd is mostly very pedestrian.


Everyone here aspires to work for an ad conglomerate that's busy destabilizing democracies while they "own" the compose button in an app. Of course its very pedestrian.
