governments are rudimentary organizational tools used by humans to pool resources then decide how those resources are used to complete tasks so every governmental job can be replaced by clever crypto + smart contract voting systems that are cheaper and more transparent this is an inevitability

Not sure it’s inevitable, but it does feel like the logical conclusion

I think you’re underestimating the complexity of government organizations and overestimating the ability of technologists to design governance systems. An opposite take is that governments will expand to create physical and social jobs to employ more people when knowledge work is largely made redundant by AI.

I'm optimistic about transparency, credibly neutral systems, and more efficient governance.
