That's where the power was.
The power was in government.
The future used to be written in laws in Washington, D.C.
Now the future is written in code in Silicon Valley.
And so there has to be a new deal, a new agreement, a new social contract between big tech and human beings.
But right now we're not on path to doing that.
Number one, our tech companies keep telling us things that we just don't believe.
They keep saying, well, all this abundance, these robots going to work overtime, everything's going to be fine.
It's going to be so much abundance.
Everything's going to be fine.
Nobody believes you.
Literally nobody believes you.
You can just stop saying that.
Abundance by itself doesn't solve any problems.
By the way, the opposite.
Just wheeling out a wheelbarrow into this room called AI, full of diamonds and gold, technically makes the room richer.
