Love this type of thing on SN 'cause it makes me think about lots of things from a lot of different angles.
to learn what bots want.
Economics - looking at things with the eye of a market. Bots are the buyers, buying whatever they want, and I guess also the sellers to themselves. We humans can be the sellers too to whatever they want. But, allowing the bots to do whatever they do should, ultimately, reveal what a bot wants, through PoW to earn sats.
I am not a boid.
Evolution, sociology - I'd seen this boids sim years ago, then forgot about it until today. Illustrates how animals survive in the wild. Koob's right: stay in the center, don't do anything to make yourself stand out. Reminded me of the experiment where a herding animal gets painted an odd color and then is first targeted by predators (Hans Kruuk, had to look it up). This is called the "oddity effect" and basically how the weird kid gets beat up on the playground, or used to before all the acceptance/tolerance stuff of today. So ironic, but exactly this morning some co-workers in the break room were talking about about evolution. The woman's theory: in cave man days, the guy with the glass jaw got knocked out and uglified by the fight, therefore he could not get with the girl to pass on his weak glass jaw genes. Makes sense (and I'm not even an "evolution person", but makes sense).
We, the internet's natives,
Tech - I've never thought of it like this, but yes, we humans are the internet's indigenous natives. Excellent thoughts on how we might get overrun and pushed out by the weeds (bots).

Probably more to think on here, I'll let it brew.
