Venkatesh Rao & Tim Beiko — The Summer of Protocols

Infinite Loops

NOTE

Is a more protocolized world leading to a less agentic society?

The world becoming increasingly protocolized does not necessarily mean it is becoming less agentic./nLower barriers to creating protocols enable more people to start protocols and shape behaviors./nMore powerful tools like AI and blockchains enable the creation of powerful protocols./nIncreased automation and technology can redistribute agency, benefiting some while reducing it for others./nThe idea of a fixed amount of work or agency is a fallacy in a growing economy.
