Practically speaking, advances in identity simulation are very hopeful for DAOs. When Vitalik [wrote about DAOs over 10 years ago in 2014](https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/05/06/daos-dacs-das-and-more-an-incomplete-terminology-guide), his vision focused on humans and AIs collaborating toward organizational goals. Really, he emphasized agents at the center, with humans at the edges completing tasks the agents cannot. @@ -67,8 +65,14 @@ So far, blockchains and smart contracts have mostly represented the extent of au It's clear that if the dream of DAOs are to have another shot, we need some help. We need *intelligent* automation. And to unlock that we need to solve alignment and thus identity. Identity simulation allows us to build the AIs we want for each community, individual, and use case. It opens the potential to steer model personality to reflect each community, to instantiate our memetics. That's something you can't accomplish with a system prompt or a basic memory framework. -As identity unlocks more agent autonomy and better functioning DAOs, the human role in those systems is probably more one of alignment via identity building--Governance 2.0. However, theres's no reason we might not have highly autonomous agents with control over their own identities as as equal DAO members too. This future is very close, perhaps closer than automating all the tasks a DAO might want to tackle. +As identity unlocks more agent autonomy and better functioning DAOs, the human role in those systems is naturally more one of ideating, goal-setting, and alignment via identity building--Governance 2.0. However, theres's no reason we might not have highly autonomous agents with control over their own identities as as equal DAO members too. This future is very close, perhaps closer than automating all the tasks a DAO might want to tackle. The YouSim DAO sits in an optimal position to advance this kind of work and run novel experiments. And Plastic has committed to giving all DAO members early access to the new YouSim platform being built.
