there is always the dark side of the moon present, but I do agree, bitcoin is far from decentralised, I do favor dan's statement here when you compare PoS and PoW, but you do make another important point, I'm not sure how AI will run a minenet the whole talk on AI will be unfolding in the years to come, all we have is fiction for now, I do think people should seriously consider and reconsider their ideals and goals for the future. I don't see AI and automation as that great of a advancement, it only makes people less valuable, bunches up a lot of resources for infrastructure and development that later totally blow out any humans out of the water, I don't really see things getting better since the internet was around and even before that, sure I do see tradeoffs but a lot of culture and value is lost in the process, so if we are going to be having a network that runs itself from AI first off someone has to release it and second it has to be worthwhile.

I don't see a way at the moment it will benefit anyone since either it has to serve someone who can be targeted or it won't be controlled and people do fear that, loosing control xD...
