An Expensive Ritual

It begins with an appreciation for humanity's formidable ability to connect and collaborate, before quickly identifying the massive inefficiency at its heart: distrust. The conversation then explores what might happen if you could offload that inefficiency onto a system.

A thought provoking path is outlined for a kind of AI mediated network designed to bypass the expensive rituals of building trust. It touches on how such a system might work, spiraling from a simple toy problem into a "desire fulfillment system" that could move us beyond the barbarian days of searching for jobs on LinkedIn. The exploration is less about finding a perfect solution and more about the compelling process of taming chaos and converting systemic discomfort into something more fluid and useful.
