Governments should tax capital, not labor, as AI makes human work less central to the economy

AI will favor capital over labor in the historical capital versus labor battle, and so there’s no reason in the AI age to have a capital gains tax that’s different than ordinary income tax.

Build artificial general intelligence

Fundamentally, fundamentally the way we will make progress is to build intelligence. And there’s only one intelligence that we can build. Now it used to be called AGI. Now it’s called ASI. Artificial Super Intelligence.

Ban autonomous lethal weapons

Personal view: I admire @AnthropicAI sticking by their principles but disagree with the principle itself. Putin won't fight fair so we should have autonomous AI weapons for sure.
