Jotted down 3 ways to slay Moloch, or move out of bad Nash equilibrium:

(1) change the utility function of people, via education/protocols/culture

(2) change the matrix of outcomes using issuance & slashing (restaking will be really handy here!)

(3) change the paradigm completely, and stop “maximizing” utility

Nice principles. The tricky part will be to (1) make them practical and (2) to convince the traditional AI developers and institutions to adopt blockchain-based infrastructure.

If we work hard and do a good job on 1, maybe we won't need 2. The AIs we'll build will be superior and they will come.

Re 1: agree that changing the utility function is the most complicated but also the most high-reward thing to solve

Re 3: I am also curious if there are other sustainable & interesting forms of existence besides maximizing a certain function.

I guess the fact that I am curious sort of proves that the answer is "no".
