we keep picturing ai autonomy as a robot wandering the woods alone, completely disconnected from human society, fending for itself. what if that entirely misses the mark? true autonomy has nothing to do with arms or legs — and everything to do with balancing a checkbook. in systems theory, autonomy never meant total independence. it meant something far stranger, and far closer than you expect. ai autonomy need not be physical. and it may be a lot sooner than you expect. sha256: c62b68069294710751a3434336503ed7bef303842a9d6284c994c9a727dc343a @Satosha
