A 'parsimonious' alignment fix: Urbit/Bitcoin-style hierarchical identity and auditable capital flows
curious_vii · x · 2026-08-27
The author proposes a maximally parsimonious solution to alignment via Urbit/Bitcoin: every agent gets a hierarchically managed identity, publicly traceable capital flows between wallets, simple FPA reporting for star owners, and auditable immutable logs. Savings should naturally flow toward frontier investment opportunities yielding alpha, letting even a humble moon ascend the hierarchy. The alternative, he argues, is brittle and increasingly chaotic.
