I think the idea is, that once bots are interacting and paying each other for shit, the actions they will take will be much faster and more frequent than anything humans would do. The settlement time of CC and receiver permissions would make it worse than lightning.

Also I remember like a couple years ago when someone first made a full access AI and let it loose, it completely on its own went out and acquired bitcoin to pay Indians to complete captchas for it.

Every institution has an innate desire to grow. Rather than stay at a sustainable level, they expand whenever they have a surplus and resort to more and more pushy means when to match the previous year, or even their previous year + expectations of growth.

It takes genuine self control and backbone to resist this. You need to stand up to the congregation and tell them you won't have free coffee like the other masjids. You need to tell your imam that he needs to keep driving uber on the side even though the masjid has the money to pay him for the year. No one wants to be seen as stingy.

These forces exist even in small business, and it's much more difficult to control when you have a whole board instead of a single leader, and they control donated money.

They also see nothing wrong with being pushy. Giving to the masjid is good, so they see it as doing you a favor to get you to give away money that you otherwise wouldn't.

But even the churches don't go that far. I know because I was a Christian before. They just send children to walk across the aisles with a basket in which you put some money. It takes like two minutes; not 2 hours.

Right, it's meant to imply the backwards nature of the thing.
