But I think it needs to be the starting point if we want any of our decision makers to make well-informed decisions on how to react to this rapidly advancing technology.

So first, I mean, we all deal with lots and lots of things in our lives, right?

And we have only limited bandwidth.

And let's say up until a year ago, I very much relate to the fact that

frankly speaking, most AI systems weren't that useful for most people, right?

And so why would we spend some of our limited bandwidth on paying attention to that?

And then a second thing is probably also a kind of protective response.

If you want to seriously contemplate the implications of this technology,

It leads to pretty stark predictions.

It leads you to pretty stark places.

And sometimes it just feels a lot more comfortable to just live in the here and now and not worry about that not so distant future that may be quite fundamentally disrupted.

yeah and yeah third thing is uh there in in in the public discourse uh you can hear lots and lots of opinions going in all directions right i mean you are uh much more expert in that than i am and you just pick your most comforting favorite opinion out there in the public discourse and you can get so much of supply of that uh i just don't know if that's the best advice that you can get

If I have to pick one of the two, it would probably be everything else.

But having said that, in the economy, things always diffuse more slowly than somebody at the frontier would think they do.

So in that sense, let's take that perspective that this is going to be absolutely transformative and then add that tiny bit of economic reality that things change.

when they diffuse, move a little bit more slowly.

And I think that's probably going to be roughly my median prediction of where we are heading.

Thank you.

I really appreciate you devoting attention to these important topics.

to do for me.
