Sandboxes are software fences for programs that could harm the System. By itself a malevolent or error prone code could stall, or crash the system. Inside a sandbox the sandbox would be closed instead, and the system would persist.
So one could create an ethical principle that if you use artilects or bots to improve your life in some way, they could not interact with other bots to harm other people as a result of their activities. Success should not be based on malicious intents against others.
However in this way one is limited in their growth only by the number and functionalities of the bots which in turn are limited by the computing power that could be brought to bear which in turn ultimately needs energy.
It might be an interesting mathematical limit to explore for an information economist - does the energy requirement increase at a faster rate than the growth rate of computing power, the Moore's Law?
- does the increase for energy reduce with time?
- do effective algorithms prove to give an advantage for bots to reduce the need for ever more computing power?
And what would the trends confluence on, if at all...
