Re: "Integral: a solarpunk vision?"
If by consumer grade hardware you mean a beefy gpu or a really good cpu, and don’t forget training these models takes a lot of resources too. Although, i agree leveraging the tools we have is a good idea, there is a difference between leveraging and fully delegating, and it seems like they have chosen the latter for the whitepaper.
This reminds me of Auroville, which is a experimental society in Puducherry and Tamil Nadu.

The goals look nice of paper but in reality (from an outsider’s perspective) it’s just a rich hipster village at best and a cult at worst.

Original Post
Integral: a solarpunk vision? — I follow Peter Josheph's Revolution Now podcast (the producer of the Zeitgeist movies) and he went through this initiative he is working on called Integral which intends to put together a blueprint for a post-market economy, broadly speaking. The link above references section 2 of the whitepaper, A Human-level Analogy, which reminded me of Solar Prompts.
