Oh I get it now. If "DAOs", as a personified noun, were autonomous then we wouldn't need them. DAOs aren't autonomous, no. The contributors are autonomous (or that's the goal for me). The "DAO" is just the combination of tools, ledgers, and workflows that a collective group have agreed to use. A DAO cannot be autonomous in so far as an organization can't create itself. Rather, the DAO simply enables autonomous engagement through decentralized structure and automation (smart contracts). Maybe someday AI can create a DAO and we can actually say the DAO itself is autonomous, as a structure. But I think the goal to be achieved is for individuals to be autonomous in their contributions, rather than the abstracted concept of the organization itself being autonomous in its own self-management.
