AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

I think some of the biggest critics and skeptics of AI are people like creatives whose jobs have already been impacted by AI.

And so I think we're going to get a lot of populist backlash that results from people's jobs being threatened, even in small numbers.

And I also think that on the macro scale, even in a world with full employment, you still might get a declining labor share of the economy, which is something to worry about, which is, right, this idea that, yes, maybe everyone still has a job, but overall wealth is accruing to capital owners who have the ability to rent infinite robot labor.

And wealth inequality can cause its own kind of problems like these political imbalances, resentment at elites, things like that.

And so that's something I worry about even in a world where people mostly retain their work.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

So I tend to be like job displacement.

AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

It's not going to be it's not going to happen all at once.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

It's not going to be the sort of apocalypse.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

It's going to affect some narrow categories of people.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

But those people are going to be really, really mad about it.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

And it's going to really, really suck for them.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

And I kind of want our policymakers to be more proactive to tell people if your job is automated by AI through no fault of your own, like you spent decades learning some skill and now it goes poof because of AI.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

I do think we should support those people.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

I don't think it's their fault.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

Yeah, I mean, I think that is the...

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

Like one of the versions of the things that people like Dario, even more extreme than Dario, do believe, that's what they're worried about, right?

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

Is like, AI will be a one to one substitute for labor, it will be able to do literally everything and capital will discard people.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

And that's where I would start to make arguments like you've been making, Ryan, where I'm like, well, actually, if human labor is scarce, some people will want their human party planners.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

And so I do.

Bankless
AI Populism: Warning Shots Before 2028 | Jasmine Sun

think there will be some jobs available in the relational economy.
