The state will absorb most productivity gains from AI by printing more money. The idea of Universal High Income is a fallacy. More money without more real goods and services simply fuels inflation and makes basic necessities more expensive. Power tends to protect itself. Many people in positions of authority end up serving their own interests and those of their inner circle—dangling carrots in front of the public while expanding their reach. It’s often a fool’s game with a few winners and many losers. That said, I remain hopeful. AI could also make knowledge nearly universal. And when knowledge spreads, consciousness can grow. Once you see through the illusions, you stop getting trapped by them. Make love, not war, my Nostr family.
