Laugh all you want but this is the future I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

This connects some many sparse dots on the map for me. Finishing it right now, thank you for commenting w the link. What a perspective, and well-written parable to communicate it.

This brings upon an ethical dilemma soon, partly explored by a black mirror episode, where AI can call upon gig workers. What if a rogue agent gets to things done: asks gigworker1 to call a person to meet under a bridge at 4, and asks gigworker2 to put up a rock on the bridge, and asks gigworker3 to clear the obstruction and drop the rock down the bridge at 4. None of the 3 technically knew they were culpable in a la…

For the murder angle, I am far more afraid of the inexpensive but highly effective drones people learned to make in the Ukraine war.
