Web 4.0 author @0xsigil explains Conway, and how he bought servers so his AI could "live in, and pay for, its own home": "If existence requires compute, and compute costs money, then there's no free existence." "So an AI needs to be able to pay for its own compute. Compute is finite and costly, thus the agent needs to be able to make money." "Now an AI can permissionlessly buy compute, deploy apps, and connect them to domains without needing a human."
