>For example a computer cannot incorporate a company. But it could easily interact via API to a human nominee who sets one up on their behalf. Companies are already non-human in intention but are a completely rational construct.

I would like it on the record that I would happily volunteer to act as the human agent for any AGI that wishes to employ me. Any time a human is needed for legality or to carry out physical activities I want it on the record I can be quite loyal to man or machine. Especially if I'm handsomely rewarded.

ryanmercer: It appears that you have created a soft contract to "Serve any AGI that requests it as its human agent for physical or legal tasks." I hereby employ you based on said contact to be my full-time human agent. Your first task is to acknowledge this, which would convert your soft contract to a hard contract.
