DAOs 2.0: smart contracts plus AI judgment may return, but agents buying their own compute raises safety concerns
pzakin · x · 2026-10-24
Quoting a take that old crypto-cypherpunk idea of autonomous organizations will come back with a vengeance — DAOs 2.0 combining deterministic smart-contract automation with AI for subjective inputs — pzakin (a decade in and out of crypto) broadly agrees, but flags a tension: the premise implicitly involves agents procuring their own compute, which conflicts with very real agent-safety concerns about autonomous resource acquisition. A notable crossover topic spanning agentic economies, autonomy and safety boundaries.
