For the American audience, U.S.

population is about nine times bigger.

So let's round off and say it's about $4.5 trillion worth of new spending

How much taxing of bots can you do?

And how many programs would have to be obliterated to merely replace this with that?

Like, I understand what he's trying to say, which is as an AI person, he's trying to deflect some of the heat that's going to come as people are massively laid off from AI.

But he's not saying, look, all of you are going to find jobs because with all of your free time, you're going to be able to reimagine what you want to do with your life.

And universities, post-secondary institutions, even high school and elementary school are going to adapt much the same way the kids don't learn how to write anymore because why would you need to?

Or much the same way they don't learn some basic skills that Eric and I would have learned when we were in school.

They're going to say, you know what, you don't need to learn some of these basic things because AI can do it.

But now you have all this free time to learn other stuff.

OK, so let's apply it to government then.

So if your argument is that all of us are going to be fired and replaced by AI, then conceptually, it's not my argument.

Governing can be done by AI as well.

And so the cost of running government should massively decrease as well.

And so the need for new sources of tax revenue would dry up with it because.

We don't need to pay for a lot of things because AI can write the legislation.

AI can figure out the efficient way to tax a system.

And so we don't even need a huge number of parliamentarians.

We don't need political parties.
