  • I fully agree with this, but I’m of the belief that in order to fund it, we need to tax the “labor” that companies are saving with AI. If a company names profit normally with humans, they are creating a system in which the government is getting paid twice, once on the income of the company and once on the income of the people. But if AI just takes half of that away, the country is missing out on trillions of tax dollars.

    So what’s the plan? Require all companies to disclose their electric bills and what they used that power for. If it’s AI? Tax them a rate dependent on the size of the company and the size of the AI portion. This has the additional benefit of incentivizing companies to simply hire people again.

    This will never happen but I can dream.
