If I’m the AI company why would I let you do that, when I could just do it myself and get all of the money?

Regulation. If it got proven to the point that it was scaled out en mass, it would get hit hard and fast.

???

Then why would any AI company exist when they could just use their money to buy tokens from another AI company and make money for zero effort? There would be no incentive to be a provider.

Not to mention inflation would grow to match or outpace the rate you could earn on these guaranteed AI gains.

If that does become possible then the market will naturally establish efficiency again and the opportunity will disappear.

If the market would be fully efficient how would it be possible to make money in the market? I font think the market is that fast at rebalancing.

This seems somewhat obviously true, to some degree, but it all depends on the prompt, I think?

In the equilibrium, profits fall to zero in capitalism, but there's never equilibrium, everything is changing. Profit comes from insights that others haven't seen, from access to opportunities that others don't have, or through monopolistic control generating economic rents.

For that AI to make money, it has to have a harness that gives it one of the above things, which does seem possible.

Those rewards seem like they would be captured by the providers and AI companies though who would use them first to make themselves money. You would be left with whatever they didn’t pursue with their first movers advantage.

Good enough at what, fraud? Robotic Ponzi schemes would be an easy way to generate "income".

More likely they bot will do research on how to make make money and do experiments given the resources available to it.

I guess the question boils down to, what remote work could a human do to earn money over the internet?

So how many companies/individuals pay a random spam bot contacting them 100€ to upgrade their website? I guess start with targeting gullible and trying to scam them will be the more successful experiment for them. (If run unrestricted)
