So 2024.

What both parties miss is that AI can be a great government vs business equalizer.

If government hires people willing and able to learn how to use the same AI available to everyone, from any number of domestic model makers, it has the opportunity to serve Americans, adequately at worst, more productively and effectively , if done well and transparently

The more efficient government is, the harder companies have to work to outperform it. That makes for more opportunity.

What both parties have to realize is that the problem that will accelerate in this new world is crony capitalism. Both parties excel at giving our taxpayer money to their friends. Like all new technologies, AI will create new pockets of wealth that will try to buy our politicians. From both parties.

The more transparency we require in government, the more we respect the right of the people to challenge that largesse, the more we restrict the ability of politicians to receive dark money , and reward their friends, the better the quality of life will be across the country.

Whether you like it or not, AI has changed everything, except , our government , our politics and our politicians. Which have not changed at all.

So here we are. Talking about parties and politicians that are thinking in the past. Like it’s still 2024.

That’s a problem for all of us.

Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

This the basic difference.

Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous.

Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

Ro, you just gave a nice little stump speech. Congrats.

I'm talking about how AI can be used to make government more efficient, less expensive and provide an option, where it makes sense , to private enterprise.

Enabling more of the revenue you collect from taxpayers to go directly to the people who need it.

Ask your GenZ and neediest constituents, if AI could reduce spending in your state and improve the quality of services offered, with some percent of those savings being deposited in their bank accounts annually, would they approve of the government using AI ?

You know the answer.

By focusing on technology that can allow government to provide better services at a lower cost, which AI will be in a position to enable, only then can you help provide for people who need help and support.

AI is new, and not easy to implement. Which is why your state and the federal government should be creating programs to give new grads, who know or can learn AI, jobs to work with existing staff to find ways to decrease costs and improve efficiency. It's an investment that will pay off.

And as far as all the things you want to subsidize, from homes to childcare to healthcare , you could take every dollar from every billionaire and trillionaire in your state and probably every state and territory, leave them broke and then eat them, and it wouldn't cover for a year, the cost of what you want to do

But

Since I know healthcare, let's start there and see how serious you are about Medicare for All ?

Who runs it and how do you choose that person?

Right now the proposed legislation from jayapal and sanders says ," at the discretion of the Sec of HHS"

What do you think would be happening right now if that had been passed ?

I'll tell you the same thing I tell Republicans who think removing government and regulation from any market will make that market bigger and more efficient ...

Ideology is not a strategy

Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

.@mcuban have you seen @ericschmidt booed by young graduates preaching how AI will solve all? I am not an AI doomer or accelerationist. I am an AI democratist. But AI is not a panacea for our economic divides.

Our elite class is totally out of touch.

Young folks see an unfair and lopsided economy where money lenders & speculators are obscenely wealthy while they can't afford a house or education.

We are in a new Gilded Age.

We need a home guarantee for young Americans by 35 if they work for 7 years.

A jobs program for them after school.

Childcare at $10 day.

Medicare for All so healthcare isn't tied to your work.

Free trade schools and public college.

An industrial investment bank financing small and medium size manufacturers that make things we currently import.

Tech institutes that prepare Americans to use AI in a small business, government agency, or factory floor.

An end to data center extraction taking a community's water and jacking up their bills, sucking all the money in the hands of a few tech billionaires.

A tax on agentic AI more than human workers.

A tax on billionaires and, yes, trillionaires.

An end to foreign wars.

An end to aid to nations that commit genocide.

I call it a Team America agenda.

@dronamraju Everything up until the time you walk to the dmv counter and everything after will be faster and cheaper to do

The processing of all the paperwork for permits can and will be optimized

@mcuban what part of government will be improved by AI? My dmv clerk won't move faster, home building permits will still be the same pace. I can't think of govt morass improving with current AI tools

AJS@aplindurrrr

@mcuban I don't think AI has changed anything at all. Currently it's mostly hype as you can see companies such as Meta and Uber pulling back on AI spend. The productivity gains do not outweigh the costs yet. More will surely follow suit.

@mcuban I don’t see it in the short term. The hardware will be costlier, the software same prices(mostly due to regulation). I agree with your long term vision but short term(1 year) I don’t see AI improving any govt processes sadly

DOGE was doing this and proving very effective in shining light on the money trail. Then the hate propaganda started against Elon and has now rotated to Data centers. People like to think our government is trying to protect us. The actual truth is the bad actors in our government are trying to protect themselves.

@mcuban What we see from dems is hyper focus on how to extract wealth and 0 accountability when it comes to deploying that wealth. Compare NYC, which is spending more on students than anywhere, to Mississippi who currently beats them in reading. There's no trust that dems can build.

@matttoresco52 @mcuban You think this because you’ve spent your entire life being fed lies from your healthcare systems billionaire owners.

It amazes me how the proof is right in where the US ranks in healthcare compared to the top healthcare systems in the world

@JohnNatebret @mcuban DOGE made things worse. The only thing DOGE did is made Elons problems go away.

@mcuban Government is not supposed to make a profit. It is supposed to improve the quality of your life by taking care of the things that you can't afford individually. Police, fire, parks, EMS, permitting, contract disputes, jails, etc....
