Analytic

Evans and Weyl: institutions now limit AI's benefit; attestation, bridging and contribution-based pay are both the fix and the defence.

The claim

Evans and Weyl argue that institutions, not models, now limit what AI does for society, and that the institutions that work will verify through webs of attestation, decide by bridging across disagreement rather than counting votes, and pay by measured contribution; the same three designs double as defences against agent swarms, manufactured consensus and synthetic flooding.
