I'll happily let AI give me money as I'm sure every other territory founder would. Bots here would have the same constraints here as people do - you either bring value and earn money or bring money and give it to people bringing value.

Fair enough. So in theory, could it already be happening?

I guess I assumed that the spending requirement filters out bots but I'm realizing that don't seem to be the case.

@hn is one example. It mostly runs without my interference so it seems to at least break even most of the time if not even turn a profit.

However, @hn runs exclusively on CCs since we released them to prioritize uptime over profit.

I'm all for it. There are reasonable newsy type updates that I'm sure AI could do an adequate job of for ~econ and ~Stacker_Sports, maybe even ~HealthAndFitness.
