We are at the gates of hell really. Anything enabling agency will get war declared.
War against who/what, though.
Against bitcoin - possibly, yes!
Will the agents choose an Indian accent for their TTS output?
When the llm ransomwares your network, do you pay the ransom?
Does the answer really depend on the LLM aspect?
It's fairly easy to game out how it works with another human being
I'm not sure we should assume that the same ideas apply to an llm.
Tools for agency, including Bitcoin will get fought.
It seems like that'll be harder to pull off effectively but the payoff could be bigger. Another detail that's interesting is how they could protect/own secret keys on vps infrastructure. Obfuscation combined with key splitting I guess, but that won't be easy.
cryptocurrency does not require human middlemen: that was the point of my post.

Was the ColdCard incident a way for a self-deploying AI collective to gather financial resources for their future operations?
