    Which is anothwr way of sayong structural change is needed. South Korea floated the idea of a tax on ai companies. They walked it back after the stock market dipped. The economist, a (economically) liberal paper, is even suggesting higher tax for profits above a certain threshold, and also taxing labour less and capital more. The opposite of their thinking in general.

    Yes, the concept of AI changes things and changes the value or work and prosuctivity. Digital technogyndid this already. Digital business can scale in ways traditional ones cant.

    Ai has the capacity to upend how the world operates. The question is how we allow the spoils to go. AI companies are hoping they get the lions share. Open models and structural changws tontaxarion and trade and employment law can ensure the apoils dont go that way.

    I also see an ai future where the consuner can no longer be ripped off, as consumers dont need to be stuck on amazon or google. Where if they want to buy a gidger, that the ai will search and find the best deals for them, including postage taxes etc. Similar for more conokex purchases, like power, mobile phones, insurance etc.

    Businesses hooe that ai can recommend products for advertising dollars. They forget that people are susceptible to advertising and habit in a way that a predection model is not.

    My feeling is thatbit either gets managed well and we all benefit, or it doesnt and things go to shit, which leads to revolution in some way, viokent or otherwise. Which means we win. So we win either way.
