Thesis is great. Implementation on Ether isn't going to work. TradFi audits are a mess. But code also needs to be audited, and solidity is a fucking nightmare to audit--why do you think there are so many hacks on Ethereum based chains. The other assumption is that Ethereum is decentralized. It isn't. Its fine to worship Satoshi because he/she/they/it is not around. But idolizing Vitalik? That's a fucking future problem--unless he is removed from having any more influence the the standard joe ETH token holder. Ethereum needs to be converted into a DAO itself--no plans on that happening ANY TIME SOON. Other problems are that too few ETH tokens are securing the network, and the validators are controlled by JP Morgan---Yikes! Ethereum isn't very different from a CEX--it's on the path away from it, but not there, and it doesn't appear to be interested in getting away from centralization very quickly. Again. Thesis is good, just find a decentralized chain. Oh, as others have pointed out AI isn't autonomous at all, but that doesn't mean the program can't still be carried out manually on the blockchain.

Hey Andrew,

Just a small point of objection. It appears that your thesis rests on the existence of genuine AI as oppose to the clever machine learning abilities we employ now in ChatGPT and the like. Am I right in this asumption. If so, I'd like to point out that we don't appear to be anywhere near genuine AI. Given that is the case, every "AI actor" is still just a clever human sitting behind a machine which can be "attacked" and put in prison and so. The only way I can envisage your idea working is if someone released a code on the block chain anonymously and made no effort to control it a la bitcoin style. Tell me why I'm wrong?
