Joshua Achiam on Token Tax Becoming Energy Tax
OpenAI researcher links token taxes to eventual energy measures.
Joshua Achiam, Chief Futurist at OpenAI and author of Spinning Up in Deep RL, wrote that a token tax will eventually become a compute tax and then an energy tax. He called this progression the long march to the simplest legible measure that will continue until it reaches physics too basic to reduce. The statement appears in a post quoting his words on AI-related taxes.

BA bayes@bayeslordI almost said this but then I thought like, it’s hard to know when and the amount we want to allocate to people is conveniently proportional to sales, hence a corporate tax? (you could in principle have weird super vertically integrated Elon economy style stuff which is…
