If you’re in/around the administration, you're obligated to keep up the narrative that AI is creating jobs. If you're a Democrat or America First/America Only, you're obligated to spread the job destruction narrative. That's how AOC and Steve Bannon find themselves on the same team. If you're an independent thinker, you understand that we will have massive AI job *displacement* combined with profound abundance (lower prices, shorter work weeks and new jobs) This means extreme winners AND losers, which will require thoughtful change management.
