DAC – Distributed Autonomous Corporations

Without human management Autonomous Corporations will fund their infrastructure with profits from the services they provide.

Each will issue its own currency which will derive value from its exclusive ability to purchase the DAC’s services. The DAC will pay the crowd with its own floating currency to provide servers and networking for its compute and bandwidth needs.

The possibilities are mind boggling. I suspect one day our own minds will be DACs, paying for their computational substrate with back-breaking work in the ‘salt mines’.

Infants in a Hostile Digital Jungle – Programable People, Techno Social Engineering.

Deep Learning and Big Data will make machines omniscient and smart. People will be gullible and tractable in comparison; infants ripe for exploitation. 
The law won’t protect us, will: ‘Do No Evil’ or other vague self proclaiming slogans?
This is also one of the key themes in my new book: #SingularitysChildren #AI #Singularity
