DON’T TAKE AI FOUNDATION MODEL CEO’s TOO SERIOUSLY
I’d counsel against taking AI company leads terribly seriously when it comes to the economy. Most of it is motivated reasoning and attention seeking to cover their vast losses while keeping the financial markets betting on them. And while AI will have greater military consequences, robotics will have greater economic consequences. And even if we are to see unemployment rise from AI, solving the problem is a relatively easy opportunity for good, and civilizations have done so repeatedly in history. Periods of great architecture, art, infrastructure, technology, and science are often the product of shifting a polity and economy from individual consumption to collective production of commons that increase the quality of life for all.
We have exhausted consumption as an economic vehicle and descended into consumption as a signaling method. It’s one of the sources of our political problems. Shifting to producing commons can restore unity in a population.
