I fail to see how @VitalikButerin’s critique of autonomous AI doesn’t exactly apply to autonomous code (aka smart contracts). Let me ctrl+F+replace “Conway/AI” for “Ethereum.”

Bro, this is wrong.
Lengthening the feedback distance between humans and financial code is not a good thing for the world.
Today, it means you're generating token slop instead of solving useful problems for people. It's not even well-optimized for helping people have fun.
Ethereum becomes powerful enough to be truly dangerous, it's maximizing the risk of an irreversible anti-human financial-nihilist outcome that even you will deeply regret.
