talking to the government ministers, because they're holding the next global AI summit in February.
And their view going in was, you know, AI is great, we're going to use it to, you know, turbocharge the growth of our Indian economy.
When, for example, you have AGI, you have AGI-controlled robots that can do all the manufacturing, that can do agriculture, that can do all the white-collar work.
And goods and services that might have been produced by Indians will instead be produced by American-controlled robots.
AGI systems at much lower prices.
You know, a consumer given a choice between an expensive product produced by Indians or a cheap product produced by American robots will probably choose the cheap product produced by American robots.
And so potentially every country in the world, with the possible exception of North Korea, will become a kind of a client state
of American AI companies.
You can think about countries, but I mean, even for the United States, it's the same problem.
At least they'll be able to tax the hell out of these.
But increasingly, even those companies will be replacing their human employees with AI systems.
So Amazon, for example, which sells a lot of computing services to AI companies, is using AI to replace layers of management, is planning to use robots to replace all of its warehouse workers, and so on.
So even the giant AI companies...
will have few human employees.
In the long run, I mean, think of the situation, you know, pity the poor CEO who's bored.
says, well, unless you turn over your decision-making power to the AI system, we're going to have to fire you because all our competitors are using an AI-powered CEO and they're doing much better.
That's maybe a euphemism.
And I think, you know, governments are now, you know, they've kind of gone from saying, oh, don't worry, you know, we'll just retrain everyone as data scientists.
Like, well, yeah, that's ridiculous, right?
The world doesn't need 4 billion data scientists.
