proposing a bright line: when one's fafo transfers community value (nacho money) into one's wallet, it stops being cute.

that's mostly human self interest, it should not be confused with a spirit of exploration.

N.B. exceptions for ethical pentesting

Q1a: automated system can be improved by testing in public, and self-control by community leaders. My opinion only: breathless hype and "c'mon guys, here's how you open this treasure chest, I get an eye-poppingly large share for being first, that's just how it works for me" are not responsible. Whereas "I've thought deeply about this before (here's some proof btw), let me cook" can be edifying for everyone.

Q1b: lol, no

Q2: my underlying tone: it's better to call it out and self-police, than to accept that a) entities with the monopoly on force will apply that force on our behalf, or b) that's the entirety of the game, all value distribution is doomed to be farmed to death.

Ideally the market teaches agents distributing tokens how to titrate their faucet. Those who don't, will get drained. Those who give too little, will get abandoned. Those who use the value distribution to increase value, will go higher

(referring to the bot drama): that’s your perspective on it, and I’m not claiming it to be true or false in any general sense 

question: how can an automated system be improved without such situations happening? do you believe it has reached a level of maturity where we have deep expectation on how to and not to interact with it? 

#2: how do you reconcile the underlying tone of your view with the idealisation of a trustless, market-driven world we’re all exploring together?
