This is why we'll be using ACs to pay for things. Load up an autonomous corporation with $5, make its job paying for API calls. If something goes South, it's last job is to pay an alert mechanism that triggers a human response. Th

Variable costs are scary, but they are scary because they may change at a future date, not because they are variable. With a cryptocurrency backed API call, you can enter into contracts over variable periods of time to lock in price. This w

Any cryptocurrency will do, but it obviously requires the customer be wired up to send you the transactions. I have several models kicking around in my head for when we're going to need it. You may want to check out Bitcoin's micr

Government is governance of a society, which itself is alive and completely dynamic. Our idea of "well being" is constantly changing and growing. Unless the AI decides contrary, of course.

Things only appear to be paradoxical to humans. We're subject to being double bound by those with dissonance. Arguing for legislation that expects to eliminate all of X because X causes suffering is illogical, but it's easy to sel

I've been talking about hooking cryptocurrencies up to APIs for a few years now. Today's startup business models are coarse to the point of being stupid. Worse, mistakes in the model cause user suffering later when pricing has to

For software based AI to be successful at what it does, it must compete. If it does not compete well, it will suck, and the government will suck just as bad. Government, at least the way we've been thinking about it thus far, will have

At this point, I really don't think our government has any idea how to deal with what is coming.

I say fuck both of them. How long are we going to let companies being directed by people who want more money keep building software we can't stop using and causes us more suffering than the last version? Wall Street, Jack and their lik

I believe the problem lies with the "typical" business models for software companies.

Given competitors are experiencing lower and lower friction entering the market, the desire to "compete" isn't limited in normal rates. The amount of competition will increase and drive (and break) economies at scale. Bubbles

Uber won because a massive amount of stored trust (capital) was put into it while users were trusting it would do what it said it would do then, now and in the future. Being able to change the business model and not violate user trust, as m

Bremermann's limit is rooted in the discrete bits of reality that we understand. What is silly is to assume we understand reality.

Marketing is about raising interest. Interest is one of the 8 basic emotions, with the other being joy, trust, fear, suprise, sadness, boredom and anger. If you can bootstrap interest into joy, you get optimism. Interest and anger bring agg

Microservice based architectures, or SOAs, are ideal for segmenting operational and development tasks. Using Container Engine (which != GCE) will give users a BETTER way to abstract out system administration. You imply contrary. My request

See Jevon'ss Paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox , A.K.A. Wirth's Law, Gate's Law, Page's Law, or May's Law. Fun fact: there's a non-linear corollary between the growth of

When people use comments like "people are going to have a fit", they are speaking for others. THAT is stirring the pot, whether it's serious or not.

Don't stir the pot, please. Getting people riled up is just pointless. Here's the proof of time disclaimer, which might be considered to be "proof of Intel inside": http://intelledger.github.io/introducti
