Yeah, I think so.
Like the e-acts, the accelerationists and the D-cells.
I'm very much seeing that too.
And I think that is the worst possible outcome because there are a lot of people who are kind of more in the middle who are like, hey, technology, if it's good and if it helps people and there are ways to kind of marshal it towards that, we can't just be anti-tech.
And also we can't just be pro-tech no matter what the technology is.
It's kind of like a guided tech approach.
And those people that are caught in the middle will have to pick a side.
I think probably Derek Thompson, Ezra Klein are among those who would have to pick a side.
And I'm wondering where you think if those are the two sides, at least for this election cycle, where do you think that splits among party lines?
It seems like the left is more going in kind of a decel type direction more than the right, though there are factions of the populist right.
The right is not inherently pro-AI either.
Well, but they seem to be at least in more and more than the left, certainly, regime.
And so if that's the break, are we going to get Democrats who have to be decel and then Republicans who have to be accelerationists?
If the if the left or the Democrats do go in that direction, which is kind of like anti-tech moratorium on data centers, the Bernie Sanders type of approach on this.
Doesn't this kill the Ezra Klein, Derek Thompson abundance agenda entirely?
Because maybe you have abundance with kind of like housing, if you can even get there.
But like that means you don't have abundance on intelligence.
And intelligence, as we were just discussing, can mean cheaper healthcare, cheaper therapy.
It can be a deflationary force.
