AI is scary because our political system is broken and isn’t serving everyday Americans. If so many jobs and companies will be wiped out, what will be done to give people the basics to survive? What will be done when wealth concentrates further? What will be done when startups can no longer compete against the distribution and network effects of incumbents?
No one has a plan. Politicians should be changing things significantly to make the transition to the AI era prosperous. But they’re not doing anything except what they’ve always done - represent their donors and themselves. And that’s why it’s scary.
