Working on a gardening robot called Wilbur; we need to give the power of AI to individuals or the next 30 years could be really ugly

Imagination precedes action, therefore

fiction precedes non-fiction

Focus is a virtue of the accomplished. It is sacrificial (to say no to everything but the focus) but necessary.

Is there a decentralized platform for building software that functions with bounties (ie sats), and is a believable career replacement avenue for engineers that want to contribute to causes they care about, but don't want to solve the monetization problem from scratch?

I don't mean one-off bounties for a feature here and there. I mean a fully baked platform that brings visibility and predictability to a long-term builder, and covers the whole software building process and lifecycle:

-vision development bounties

-roadmap + bounty integration

-community feature voting via chipping in for specific bounties

-bounties for non-features: code review, bug fixes, architectural design/review, etc

-reputation tracking

Stuff like this.

If not, should we build it? Is someone already?

What do you want?

Do you let yourself believe you could have it?

To the people who say:

"AI is just another technology, and technology has always displaced some jobs, but always opens more opportunities than it ends. So there's no reason to be worried about AI."

I think you're missing something very important -

for all tech revolutions in the past, the new tech automated some limited set of tasks. But that didn't touch the thousand other tasks in the world that still only humans could do.

What happens when AI leaves no task that a human can do more cheaply? That is a core promise of AGI. Employing human labor becomes financial suicide for all businesses. Only industries that employ humans specifically because they're human will be left.

We need to build technology that gives the powers of AI to individuals, or we'll lose our economic agency and become passive UBI recipients. Give individuals the means of production!
