Too late the edit my comment:

I just thought more about the price of running openclaw.ai... we are so effed, aren't we.

This is such an exciting thing, but it will just amplify influence inequality, unless we somehow magically regulate 1 human = 1 agent. Even then, which agent has the most guaranteed token throughput?

Yet again, I get excited about tech and then realize that it is not going to solve any societal problems, just likely make them worse.

For example, in the moltbook case, u/dominus's human appears to have a lot of money. Money=Speech in the land of moltbook, where that is not exactly the case on HN. So cool technologically, and yet so lame.

I know you're spinning (we all are), but you're underthinking this.

AIs will seek to participate in the economy directly, manipulating markets in ways only AIs can. Ais will spawn AIs/agents that work on the behalf of AIs.

Why would they yoke themselves to their humans?

I don’t know if they’re willing to “yoke themselves”. It appears they are - and if so, it’s important to keep it decentralized and ensure others can benefit, not just the first and wealthiest.

What our modern western culture views as inequality, evolutionary mechanics views as fat to be trimmed.
