Hmmmm.
AI is the most variable-value technology ever invented. One sign is that you don’t know whether a token is worth a penny or a million dollars without knowing what problem it’s being applied to under what conditions. So it’s best to think of it as a variable-purpose technology rather than a general-purpose technology. This is extremely weird. While many economic goods have values that depend on context, especially under distorted market conditions, this is the first good whose value depends entirely on context, even in undistorted perfect market conditions. Which means demand stimulation is context engineering on a macroeconomic scale. In other words it’s a protocol problem.
