But

they wouldn't double economic output.

So I would just say it's complicated.

I think what the political reaction to it will be when this starts actually happening.

I think the easy thing to say is that, yeah, this will become a big issue, and then it will be maybe controversial or something.

But what is the actual nature of the reaction in different countries?

I think that's kind of hard to forecast.

I think the default view is like, well, people are going to become unemployed, so it will just be very unpopular.

I think that's very far from obvious.

Yep.

And I just expect heterogeneity in how different countries respond, and some of them are going to be...

more liberal about this and going to allow broader deployments, and those countries probably end up doing better.

Just like during the Industrial Revolution, some countries were just ahead of others.

I mean, eventually, almost the entire world adopted the sort of norms and culture and values of the Industrial Revolution in various ways.

This is not meant to be like a strong prediction.

This is just an illustrative.

Like it might just be that like the freedom to deploy AI in the economy and build out lots of physical things at scale.

Maybe that ends up being more important in the future.

Maybe that is still missing something.

Maybe there's other things that are also important.
