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?

Although I do think that as the job loss conversation starts to hit, there's going to be an opportunity for politicians who are trying to mitigate that issue finally getting some wins.

And we just – people just need to see clearly that the default path is not in their interest.

The default path is companies racing to release the most powerful, inscrutable, uncontrollable technology we've ever invented with the maximum incentive to cut corners on safety, rising energy prices –

depleting jobs, creating joblessness, creating security risks, that is the default outcome.

Because energy prices are going up, they will continue to go up.

People's jobs will be disrupted.

And we're going to get more deep fakes and floods of democracy and all these outcomes from the default path.

And if we don't want that, we have to choose a different path.

Unless there's a massive political backlash because people recognize that this issue will dominate every other issue.

How does that happen?

Hopefully conversations like this one.

I mean as – what I mean is Neil Postman is a wonderful media thinker in the lineage of Marshall McLuhan.
