Something I've been kind of curious about: How are things like taxes and voting handled when you're not tied to any location, and even when you're outside your home state much of the time?

because we're assuming the human wrote the AI software, and so they probably do understand software created by the AI).

This isn't really true in a lot of cases. There are plenty of scenarios where even the nominal creators of an algorithm or design don't fully understand how their creations work.

Here's an older but still very interesting example.

And here is a more fleshed out, if simplified, explanation by CGP Grey.

Both of these involve genetic algorithms, and the general principles behind them aren't that hard to grasp, but the creations they produce can be incomprehensible to even experts. And what's generally used in the software world today is far more complex than genetic algorithms.

That's assuming that it will improve certain speeds up faster than the normal base speed. What's actually going to happen where ISPs are concerned is that they'll artificially slow everything else down EXCEPT their own services unless you pay.

If Amazon is some website or online service and the post office is your ISP, what this is like is if only things the post office approved of gets the standard 5-10 business day delivery speeds. If a company like Amazon doesn't pay a LOT of money to the post office,

A: Amazon will only be able to send very small packages smaller than a bottle of water.

B: The post office will let Amazon packages just sit in a warehouse for 2 weeks before they even bother starting the 5-10 day delivery process.

For big corporations like Amazon who can afford to pay these giant fees, this isn't a business killer.

If, however, you want to start up a business that involves shipping packages in any way, and you can't afford to pay whatever the post office arbitrarily says the fee is, then your product better be smaller than a water bottle, and I hope you like nearly month long delivery times.

None of this even gets into the problem that the post office can now arbitrarily decide that you can only send 100 packages a month if they so choose.
