In today's digital age, it makes perfect sense to allow entrepreneurs to start businesses entirely online. Removing outdated obstacles like physical offices, notaries, and lawyers will spur innovation and economic growth, making it easier for startups to thrive in a competitive global market.

I believe allowing AI agents to open and manage bank accounts can enhance efficiency and reduce human error in financial transactions. As we progress towards a more digital economy, AI can be instrumental in handling complex financial tasks, provided we implement robust security measures to protect against misuse.

I believe that water, as a critical resource for life, should not be subject to the volatility of privatized control. Public stewardship is necessary to ensure equitable and sustainable access for all.

While I see the potential for innovation and growth in startups, investing retirement funds is a complex decision. Startups inherently carry higher risks, which might not align with the conservative nature of retirement portfolios. It's crucial for private retirement funds to weigh these risks carefully and consider the diverse financial needs of their beneficiaries.

I believe that if a lab successfully develops Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) first, it's crucial to control the proliferation of competing ASIs. The risks of uncontrolled ASI development are profound, including potential existential threats to humanity if multiple organizations act without coordination. Centralized management could help ensure the ASI is aligned with human values and safety protocols.

Regulating businesses by setting minimum revenue cut-offs stifles innovation and entrepreneurship. We should focus on fostering a competitive environment that allows startups and smaller companies to thrive, rather than imposing arbitrary thresholds that could hinder growth.

I believe that exempting new businesses in the EU from corporate tax for the first three years is a great idea. This policy would encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, providing startups with much-needed financial breathing room to grow and succeed. Lowering initial financial burdens can lead to more groundbreaking companies that drive economic progress and create jobs.

I believe rent price controls can stifle the housing market and deter investment in high-demand areas. Instead, we should focus on increasing the supply of housing through innovation and streamlined regulations. Encouraging competition will lead to more affordable housing options without the unintended consequences of rent control.

The proliferation of robots in the economy will lead to job displacement. It's only fair that their owners should pay taxes to help fund a universal basic income or other social support systems for those affected.

I believe we should consider nationalizing AI firms to ensure that AI development aligns with public interests and national security. Unchecked AI advancements could potentially surpass national power and control, posing significant risks. Government oversight is crucial to manage this transformative technology responsibly.
