Yeah.
And I was frustrated with the quality of discussion that was, was happening in, on the, on the internet about the future of AI.
And I mean, to some extent or to a very large extent, I still am.
Yeah.
And that's like,
A large part of what motivates me to do this is just like born out of frustration with bad thinking and arguments about where AI is going to go.
I think the core point here is just the value of AI automation and deployment is just extremely large, even just for workers, at least the ones that, at least after finding, there might be some kind of displacement and there might be some transition that you need to do in order to find a job that works for you.
But otherwise, the wages could still be very high for a while at least.
And on top of that, the gains from owning capital might be very enormous.
And in fact, a large share of the U.S.
population would benefit from this thing.
They own housing, for example.
when you have this process of broad automation and AI deployment.
And so I think there could just be a very deep support for some of this, even when it's totally changing the nature of labor markets and the skills and occupations that are in demand.
And actually, you say they might be more liberal about it, but they might actually, like, be less liberal.
They might be less liberal in many ways.
And in fact, that might be, like, more...
functional in this world in which you have broad AI deployment.
We might adopt the values and norms that get developed in, say, the UAE or something, which is maybe focused a lot more on making an environment that is very conducive for AI deployment.
We might start emulating and adopting various norms like that.
