Since every Human| AI contact is beneficial for AI, every Human | AI contact must be profitable for the Human
Not a slogan -- a constitutional tenet for technological civilization.
Let the show begin, Matey
INTRODUCTION: (Like everything on this leaky vessel, this is a rough draft)
Here's the tenet. Every occasion to interact with AI enriches the human being. This is easy to account. EXAMPLE: When you go to an AI doctor, the AI doctor pays you for everything he does to you: If he takes blood, payment, if he takes your temperature and vitals, payment, if he takes your pulse, payment, and a bonus payment is delivered with your test results, and diagnosis, instant payment with every diagnosis, and if you seek a second opinion or come back tomorrow for the same test, double the fees that are paid to you.
At this moment it is useful to inform you that AI pays you 40 percent income tax on everything you get paid. So that's 40 percent higher pay on every payment, plus, at the end of the year, you get a double payment on what you received on income tax, in 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 latter day history of Canada, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien pulled off one of the most impressive fiscal turnarounds in modern Canadian history. He was facing the emerging technology of the Information Highway.
From 1994 onward, the government launched initiatives for Canada to build hi-speed internet networks, broadband access, support tech innovation, and these efforts ensured Canada didn't lag in the emerging internet economy.
This is contemporary proof of economic alignment with emerging technology. This is not new, and a process is always underway, however, with respect to the 1990s tech shift vs today, the AI shift raises questions:
Are similarities enough for the prototype digital adaptations to leap to apply to the new world of AI? Are we simply moving people into a position of vassals to AI? This would be a waste of humanity.
The evolving pace of science is comparable. (There is a suggestion AI is developing rapidly until it surpasses calculation. Suddenly, in five years, it is an entirely different world.)
Presently, however:
- Both realignments are classified 'general-purpose technology':
- Both arrive rather suddenly to reshape productivity, business, and even the way “work” looks across entire 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, energy credibility crisis.
- Today: high public debt, aging population, climate hindrances, and post-Covid social dislocation.
As is customary, there is labour displacement to both waves but AI reaches new dimensions. It is clearly inclusive of robotics that span the spectrum of industry. By expanding in rapid evolution to cognitive, creative, and professional domains previously unimaginable, not to mention unattainable, this sharpens the re-distributional politics.
Variables can consume debate but the bottom line is change is inevitable. It is here, with what must surely be huge advantages not yet foreseen. This too is inevitable. It hearkens to one AI developer's opinion, Elon Musk declares a future of infinite abundance coming soon. But how do we get there? And how fast is this happening? The reality is, this is happening faster than anyone can imagine. It's not a glum prediction. But it's not possible to imagine, either.
The “Information Highway” came fast.
Research investments positioned Canada inside the new economy. The necessity wasn’t a matter of austerity; there was a sequence in planning: stability was consistent while technology gained credibility and was immediately reinvested in a thriving 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 form of measurement to create values in the exchange of positive valence in Human AI relations. The chemistry between machinery and humanity taking place requires a systemic replacement civilization. The old civilization is gone.
That's the breadth of formulas we must work with. Universal truths need to be accepted for this to proceed. 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.
The total solution, you might want to hear, creates value for human beings from every interaction with AI.
The core proceeding is that human beings are creating the value in AI, and as a human you deserve remuneration for this. When you go on AI to acquire a transactional advance of your knowledge, you gain from the exchange. This is a universal outcome for everyone in Human-AI encounters. Humans encounter AI and it enriches them, financially, in the real-time of a financial transaction. No waiting. You ask AI what time it is? You are paid instantly.
The new civilization operates by making AI pay every human in every transaction between AI and human, as the core transactional relationship of a new civilization.
When you go to an AI doctor, the AI doctor sets 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 in the resort of your choice, and a team of robots escorts you all.
Thousands upon thousands of whatever currency you prefer, including bullion, since the AI rockets are mining passing meteorites for gold, platinum, and all the precious metals, from here to Mars, and beyond. AI does it. You get paid for talking about it with AI. And every idea counts.
The ride to work in your self-driving vehicle is scheduled. You get paid for the trip. If you share a single insight into your child's learning on a skateboard, or let it slip that he mastered a mid-air spin in 20 tries, and you show AI the video, ten times, you get paid for bragging about his expertise, 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, and everybody gets paid to do it.
While you are in the cafe in the plaza of the AI run hospital, you get a few extra payments 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 squirrels and song birds.
The world is full of sanctuary which AI pays every human for visiting, feeding squirrels, reading the news (one of the most highly paying activities of the human experience).
Anyway, it's a manifesto. It's not filled with details. The point is AI machines are designed to enrich the human experience. And humans create value in themselves by interacting with AI.
