Tyler Cowen

I don't know what these terms mean anymore. To me, Trump in some, but not always, is very much in the center. He's pledged he doesn't want to cut the big government programs. He claims he wants to keep America out of war. He probably means that.

Yet there's something about the tone and the vibe that is so weird and sometimes so unkind and so unpleasant that it's hard to feel comfortable with it or want to endorse it. So I think we just need to keep our cool, try to be smarter, ask the AI when you need to, and not be taken in too much by movements or labels or ideologies, and actually figure things out.

America is seeing a religious revival, at least amongst its intelligentsia. We need this badly. I hope it spreads further.

I think we'll have religions that emphasize AIs as oracles. They will nominally be the same as the major current religions, but they will feel quite different. I don't know how to stop that. I also don't know if it's good or bad. It may reach more people. It may be more persuasive. It may be more versatile. We'll see how it works out.

It's very hard to get explosive economic growth for any reason, AI or not.

One problem is that some parts of your economy grow very rapidly, and then you get a cost disease in the other parts of your economy that, for instance, can't use AI very well.

Look at the US economy.

These numbers are guesses.

But government consumption is, what, 18%?

Healthcare is almost 20%.

I'm guessing education is 6% to 7%.

The nonprofit sector, I'm not sure of the number, but you add it all up, that's half of the economy right there.

How well are they going to use AI?
