钱调度「人类」劳动。买一杯咖啡是让种植、运输咖啡豆的工人和星巴克的员工为你服务。 AI 把人类做的许多脑力劳动做得更好。 So instead of paying human to do the work, naturally it's better to pay AI -- not with money, but with token. Token 调度 「AI」为你劳动。 AI doesn't need money because it doesn't buy coffee and doesn't need other humans to serve itself. AI 在人类的经济体系中只生产,不消费。 传统经济建立在人类互相依赖上。AI 让人类在某些方面不再需要彼此。 也许是好事,因为似乎历史上的「需要」以 exploitation 和 control 的方式 manifest. Token as the new currency -- - Token: for AI agents to give you intellectual outputs (what AI can do) - Money: for other humans to give you human services / labour: whatever AI cannot do yet -- 意义,情感,等其他 human edges AI 做好物质和智能的生产,人类回归意义的生产和交换。
