Speaking of government bots

The Obamacare exchanges are bots.  When they fixed the congestion  problem, they certainly moved much of the form processing back to the client, making the government servers have less complexity.  A lot of it was just Javascript loaded into the browser, but essentially a government bot for regulated health in insurance. Obama Bot.

IRS Bot
Coming soon, down load the IRS javascript tax form checker. All primitive bots.  But give them anoymous, tamper proof and honest exchanges, then these bots will interact with our own belief function bots, in our smart cards, our probability graph; the thing that encodes and decodes our typical exchanges..  In this case, we get an implied IRS coin, and a relative savings and loan tree for the coin.  We, the human owner, can always get the most typical tax liability for some exchange.  The taxer and taxee are no more biased in the network then before the technology.

What emerges from the chaos of all these honest bots is likely to astound.  Ultimately these bots are dealing with consumers who are merrily tapping away at price beacons, and making exchanges. Sounds like fun to me, I say let the bots have their playground.
