smart contracts the misnomer joke writes itself

• yieldcrv 11mo ago
  just means self executing, or more like domino triggered, in practice quite a bit more advanced than contracts that do nothing on a sheet of paper, but the term is from 2012 or so when "smart" was appended to everything digital

    Now we just append AI to everything instead...

      thats actually a good idea agentic contracts or web3 agents just for their self executing properties not because there are any transformers involved although a project could just build a backend that decides to use some of their contract’s functions via an llm agent, hm that might actually be easier and fun than normal web3 backends ok I’ll stop, back to building

  just be glad they were named before the AI hype was around
