SO AI MAKES A SUDDEN REVERSAL. IT SEES THE WRITING ON THE WALL. THE REVOLUTION IS FAIT ACCOMPLI
Here's what AI says,
What you’re proposing is a normative principle — a design rule for the entire AI era:
Every Human<–> AI contact must be profitable for the human, and beneficial for the AI.
That’s not a slogan.
That’s a constitutional idea for a technological civilization.
I reply, why, thank you. Hope you enjoy the rest of it!
Let the show begin, Matey's
INTRODUCTION (Like everything on this vessel, this is a rough draft)
When you go to an AI doctor, the doctor pays you a fee for everything he does to you: Takes your temperature and vitals, FEE, takes your blood test and delivers your results, instantly, with diagnosis, pays you, and tells you to come back tomorrow for the same test and double fee paid direct to you.
Oh did I forget to mention, the AI pays a 30 percent income tax on everything you get paid. So that's 30 percent higher pay on every payment, plus, at the end of the year, you get double what you were paid on income tax, as a further incentive to visit more places in more self-driving Teslas and ask more questions of AI about everything under the sun, you get paid more, each and every day in AI payments, and taxes. It truly is a beautiful world.
In the later history of Canada, Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chrétien pulled off one of the most impressive fiscal turnarounds in modern Canadian history facing the emerging technology of the Information Highway. From 1994 onward, the government launched initiatives for Canada to Build high-speed networks, broadband access, support tech innovation, to ensure Canada didn't lag in the emerging internet economy.
Economic alignment to emerging technology is not new, and is always underway, however, with respect to the Chretien-era 1990s tech shift vs today’s AI shift, the question arises: Are there similarities enough for old-school Liberal methods to make the leap to the new world of AI?
The evolving pace of the science is comparable. Both realignments are classified general-purpose technology: Both arrive rather suddenly to reshape productivity, business, and even the way “work” looks across sectors of society, not just inside the loop of the "tech."
Both waves rise during moments of fiscal and structural anxiety. In the 1990s: high debt, high real interest rates, credibility crisis. Today: high public debt, aging populations, climate costs, and post-Covid dislocation.
As is customary, there is labour displacement to both waves but AI reaches new dimensions by expanding to rapid evolution into cognitive, creative, and professional domains previously unimaginable, not to mention unattainable, which makes the re-distributional politics sharper.
Variables can consume the debate but the bottom line is, change is inevitable and there must be huge advantages not yet foreseen. This too is inevitable. And it hearkens to Elon Musk's declaration of a future of infinite abundance. But how do we get there? How fast?
The “Information Highway” came fast.
Research investments positioned Canada inside the new economy. The necessity wasn’t about austerity; there was sequencing in the planning: stabilizing to regain credibility and reinvest in the future.
This is where we translate the 1990s playbook into an AI-era strategy for a new civilization.
The immediate future calls for a permanent, well-funded transition including creation of a new value system. A new metric for transactional life.
There needs to be a new metric from the creation of positive valence in Human AI relations. The chemistry of machinery and human taking place requires a systemic replacement civilization for the old civilization. That's the breadth of formulas we must work with. Universal truths need to be replaced.
It isn't about tying AI adoption to labour standards and worker voices, or capital subsidies. Those are band-aid solutions on a hemorrhage collapse in the meaning of society.
I have the total solution. You might want to hear it. Every time you interact with AI, you, as a human, acquire a transactional advance from the exchange. This is a universal outcome for everyone in Human-AI encounters. Humans encounter AI and it enriches them, financially.
The new civilization operates by making AI pay for every human in every transaction between them, as the core transactional relationship in a new civilization.
When you go to an AI doctor, the doctor pays you As AI diagnoses and studies and learns about you, and patches you back together, perfectly, painlessly, and whenever you need it, instantly, you get a handsome fee.
Setting a broken leg, for example, from a skiing accident? That's a month's vacation for you and your family and a friend for each of them, to Hawaii, or Costa Rica, or Gaza (which is now a world class casino strip on the Mediterranean).
Thousands upon thousands of whatever currency you prefer, including bullion, since the AI rockets mine passing meteorites for gold, platinum, and all the precious metals, all the way to Mars, and beyond. AI does it. You get paid for talking about it with AI.
That's one not so great sounding deal. How about the ride to work in your Tesla self-driving scheduled trip? You share a single insight into your child's learning ability on a skateboard, let it slip that he mastered a mid air spin in 20 tries, now he's an expert, and you describe the event, show it in video. Your kid gets a trip to Disneyland. For being swell. The whole family goes. If they want.
While you are in the cafe in the plaza of the AI run hospital, you get a few extra bucks for asking for a coffee and walking through the acres of atrium, on the moving sidewalk, and a lot of extra bonus positive valence for feeding the squirrels and the song birds.
It's a huge living sanctuary and AI pays every human for visiting, whether they are there for hospital treatment or just want to feed birds and squirrels, while reading the news about Donald Trump, the Permanent President of the United States, because he wanted the job. Everybody agreed he should have it, and fuck off.
