The "rich AI" problem didn't seem feasible to me until I realized how powerful and flexible bitcoin is. Now add the power of contracts through ethereum and a machine could actually harness a significant amount of leverage over human actors. With traditional contracts, enforcement would have left the power in government hands, and with traditional banking as well. We've now stepped into an era where we might literally have built the bat and shovel AI will use to get humanity into its grave. /panic
