And AI is like another version of NAFTA.

It's like NAFTA 2.0, except instead of China appearing on the world stage who will do the manufacturing labor for cheap, suddenly this country of geniuses in a data center created by AI appears on the world stage.

And it will do all of the cognitive labor in the economy for less than minimum wage.

And we're being sold a same story.

This is going to create abundance for all, but it's creating abundance in the same way that the last round created abundance.

It did create cheap goods, but it also undermined the way that the social fabric works and created mass populism and democracies all around the world.

You disagree?

No, I agree.

I agree.

And AI will reconstitute every other issue that already exists.

You care about climate change or energy.

Well, AI will reconstitute the climate change conversation.

If you care about education, AI will reconstitute that conversation.

If you care about healthcare, it reconstitutes all these conversations.

And what I think people need to do is AI should be a tier one issue that people are voting for.

And you should only vote for politicians who will make it a tier one issue where you want guardrails to have a conscious selection of AI future and the narrow path to a better AI future rather than the default reckless path.

No one's even mentioning it.

Well, it's because there's no political incentives to mention it because there's no – currently, there's no good answer for the current outcome.

If I mention it, if I tell people, if I get people to see it clearly, it looks like everybody loses.

So as a politician, why would I win from that?
