I have difficulty imagining how that society could compete economically, politically, and militarily unless they were already relatively tiny and focused (like a petrostate). I think you'd be losing economy of scale while making it much more difficult logistically to pursue any large scale engineering, military, or even social projects.
- rglullis 4y agoYeah, it is definitely is a game-theoretical problem for sure, like arms stockpiling. At first, like all radical changes it would certainly be a shock. > I think you'd be losing economy of scale while making it much more difficult logistically to pursue any large scale engineering, military, or even social projects. That, I don't agree. If software is eating the world, we can and should be using it as leverage to make individuals more productive. 150 people is a number big enough to get a good balance of specialization and coordination.
