Mm hmm.
I mean, just say the future economy goes well and we have maybe because a lot of people in the present world have a lot of investments, right?
And maybe those investments just skyrocket because of AI productivity gains.
And so there's concentration of power, there's concentration of capital, but there's also widespread benefits because again, many people have investments in the stock market.
Even in that situation, I do worry about us losing control of what happens just because we've now sort of handed over power to these automated firms where
What happens in the future?
Well, that is a product of what these automated firms decide to do.
The AI CEO is trying to optimize for profit and impact and future power and so on.
And this is a process where we are not really a part of it, but we are maybe sort of relaxing and the money is coming into our accounts.
And so maybe we are...
we've sort of handed over the future to the AIs.
Is that sort of an accurate description of the kind of disempowerment you're worried about?
Yeah, we could expect sort of a crowding out effect where human interests are sidelined and you see the automated firms, the AI CEOs deciding to spend more and more resources on data centers and energy production, the stuff that makes AI more productive and gives AI their ability to sort of impact the future because there will be market pressure to optimize in that direction.
And perhaps suddenly we are...
We're not that important for the economy going forward.
What options do we have for remedying this?
I worry with the second possible solution there where we are constantly asked by the AI, do you want to do this or do you want to do that?
You could see us as the...
maybe there's some, this is a cartoon version of it, but maybe we have a law that says that CEOs must remain human and they must sort of make the crucial decisions.
Even in that situation, there will be market pressure to create automated firms, right?
