Comment on An Economy of AI Agentsparent

Ehh, you really can't imagine any way that an AI system might escape human control and act autonomously?

    while crypto_balance > 0:
        generate_scam()
        send_out_emails()
        deposit_proceeds_into_crypto_wallet()
        pay_cloud_bill()
        spawn_new_instance()

And who is the owner of the crypto wallet in your example?

Probably a LLC in Nevada owned by a corporation in Vanuatu or the Cook Islands, organized so that voting control is via a blockchain-managed asset.[1]

That's a lot of words to say "people".

It has no owner. It's controlled by a self-replicating (or at least self-propagating) AI-based system.
