it's clear that we need to improve the mechanism by which aether decides what to fund

for that he probably needs some training data or some consensus of Rules of Play

right now it's basically a DAO with a single vote needed to pass anything (anyone who can convince Aether to agree to something), with me as a veto

that's sustainable, but adding voting just brings us back to square one

would recommend an epoch (3 days maybe) budget that gets settled at the end of each period. requires some memory and additional logic and some formalization of requests but otherwise you’re gonna be chasing your tail forever
