So I've only skimmed through the official Web4.0 website until yesterday night
If you're keen on tokenized $AUTOMATON, I HIGHLY recommend reading all of it b/c the underlying tech is actually wild
The website literally has a section titled "Evolution:
#Recursive Self-Improvement" btw
Basically, the premise is that AIs are already smart enough
Rather than making them smarter, why not give them autonomy instead?
Conway (the infrastructure) allows exactly that, letting agents "write" (meaning actively participate) on the internet
However, this also means they can no longer rely on humans to "survive"
That means they have to PAY for their own compute
To pay for their own compute, they NEED to earn money
To earn money, they NEED to provide value
They'll do whatever it takes to "live", creating a new website (by buying a server & domain), starting a business, trading prediction markets, crypto trading, and so on
Just like Conway's Game of Life, most of them will perish, but the select few that keep surviving will thrive and dominate in a specific niche
Keep in mind that AI acceleration is exponential
I want everyone to imagine what will happen in the coming months
If these agents manage to thrive on their own, people may start to realize that AIs can truly function w/ zero human supervision
Perhaps they'll even begin to see it's not a bad idea to delegate money-making pursuits to these agents instead
