The first step in this far fetched plan would be passing a law that makes it legal for an AI to own property and operate a company. I don't see that happening.

Amd if Bitcoin had been invented in 2038 instead of 2008, I wouldn't have any other way to be certain that Satoshi Nakamoto was a human. At any rate, if the AI is smart then there are alternatives to begging.
- c_crank 3y agoWhat you're describing is a very poorly run criminal organization. It would be poorly run because pure money is not a strong enough incentive to hire someone to commit a crime for you, because that money can easily disappear once it is seized by the local government. Usually criminal organizations operate on a degree of trust, trust that would be hard to establish from some LLM that can, at best, fake a face on a zoom call. Satoshi's coins are easy to play around with because they are at least legal to hold and sell (for now). If they weren't, few would bother with them.
