We are like the only thing that matters in the economy now.
And so like maybe if you feel like your messaging wasn't resonating before in terms of getting people to support universal health care or like a higher minimum wage or whatever.
AI is like a brand new shiny reason that to sort of build support for the policies that you might have already wanted to pass.
You see that from people like Bernie.
You also see that from folks who want to, say, increase speech regulation and censorship or content moderation for tech platforms, where there are folks who are already very interested in applying stronger age and kid safety laws or stronger speech regulations on tech platforms.
And now that AI has showed up, it's become kind of an extra reason to push for the thing that people are already pushing for.
So I do think that AI matters, but I also think that a lot of politicians are being pretty opportunistic about, you know, pointing to the shiny new thing and saying, maybe this is a reason to do what I've been saying all along.
Yeah, I mean, I could see why you would think that.
And I do think that looking at, you know, parallels to crypto are definitely interesting.
I think that AI has some pretty distinct differences.
One is it's just a far bigger part of the economy than crypto ever was.
Like crypto was not driving like 30 or 40 percent of GDP growth over the course of a year.
Crypto is not, you know, yes, there's like Bitcoin mining operations, but these are not showing up in neighborhoods as much as data centers are.
most people at their work are not being forced or encouraged to use crypto as part of their jobs, nor is there as high of consumer adoption.
Like even from people's own volitional use of crypto, that was always a niche thing.
It was, crypto is very hard and confusing to use.
And my guess is that most Americans never really got in the habit of using crypto on a regular basis, whereas ChatGPT is like the fastest growing app in human history, right?
And so I think that in terms of the salience of AI to a lot of normal people,
it does feel like a more relevant thing.
There are also other differences.
