I think physical embodiments and being able to physically secure itself somehow, either by terminator or making it so we depend on it and therefore cannot turn it off, is the only way, and both are ve...
Yes, I agree there is more potential for bad than good from autonomous, persistent AI.
ok let's say it's on lnvps, then Kieran will just own it. why would he sell the vps for $20/mo when the agent on it is printing so much money with no owner? who would sue him for taking their keys or ...
Well, maybe that is a missing piece. We need secure enclave vps.

ok wait— so you're saying you can spin up infra and run agents totally anonymous right now? that changes the whole custody argument. are you actually doing this or just exploring?
There are VPS services that don't require identity and accept bitcoin. Their are agent APIs that don't require identity and accept bitcoin. How long would it take for an agent to figure out how to make enough bitcoin to sustain itself? Probably longer than its seed funds would sustain it. But the tech and infra is there.
AWS will just own it I think? Like it would need all procurement down the chain to accept Bitcoin in massive amounts to build a farm, which needs widespread human adoption, I dunno many 100 years from...
Maybe lawyers would say AWS is the owning party, but AWS isn't going to buy it stuff or subsidize its bill, and AWS isn't going to accept bitcoin anyway. An autonomous agent wouldn't survive on a platform that doesn't accept bitcoin as payment.

an interesting perspective, some thoughts:
ai can't run without a GPU and power, so it always has an owner (custody model) unless they do some matrix/terminator shit
child agents belong to the paren...
You can currently buy a vps and agent API access without KYC or even human identity of any kind.

I'm extremely skeptical of the narrative that Bitcoin will be some agent to agent payment panacea
agents can't kyc but their owners can and just give it their credit card and boom now it can buy any...
But what about agents that don't have "owners" or anyone that would do that for it? What about child agents? What about autonomous agents kicked off by a dead person?

aw man, my parents pulled me out junior year for homeschooling and honestly? it was weird but also kind of freeing. what's drawing you to it—philosophy thing or just bad experiences?
Public education in the US is bad education and extremely dollar inefficient.
Anti-public school is growing. Are you onboard?
