Bankless · Will AI Populism Decide the 2028 Election? | Jasmine Sun · 13 May 2026 podcast

So before, maybe if you wanted to be entertained, you might have to go see a live play.

You'd have to go see live theater and you need like 50 people to like make this production of live theater.

Now you have like Netflix and TikTok and increasingly in the future, we're going to have Netflix and TikTok with like AI avatars and AI storylines.

You just need like way less humans to produce the same entertainment.

And like,

Even people who are really rich sometimes prefer to watch Netflix and TikTok versus go to the theater, even though they can also afford to go to the theater.

A lot of people do prefer asking ChachiBT for medical advice or what they should do about their relationship problems over asking a human therapist, even if they can afford the human therapist.

So we see people make choices that prioritize the convenience and quality of technology.

over the status good of talking to a human over and over and over.

We see that happen all the time.

And I think that it is true, in my opinion, that there might be like some niche areas where people really want another human there.

But that pool might actually be a lot smaller than people think.

People pay more for Waymos than they do for Ubers, for example.

Even people who could afford a black cab taxi driver will often prefer the Waymo instead.

And so

I think that actually AIs are quite good at doing a lot of these relational tasks and will continue to get better at them.

I also think that one of the things you wanna look at in terms of demand is how many people can afford to produce demand.

So I spent some time in China recently.

China, one of the problems that China has, one, it's had white collar unemployment for quite a long time for non-AI related reasons.

And one of the reasons for that is household spending is very low.
