When computational horsepower drives technological breakthroughs without requiring direct human intervention, something fascinating happens: if a significant chunk of those gains gets channeled back into developing even more powerful systems, you're looking at wealth creation on a scale we've never seen before. The flywheel accelerates. More processing power generates better innovation. Better innovation generates returns. Those returns fuel the next generation of machines. It's a compounding effect that could reshape how value accumulates in the digital economy.

The self-sustaining mining logic sounds great, but who will guarantee that these profits will truly flow back into the next-generation system? Will capitalists be that generous?

This flywheel effect sounds good, but can it really get going... It still feels like it needs someone to operate it.

It sounds like the logic of AI earning its own money and getting stronger over time sounds nice, but when that day really comes, it's hard to say who will be earning whose money.
