Strategy positions
Near-term harms firstendorses
Documented present harms outweigh speculative existential narrativesArgues AI's impact on the labor share of income is the central macroeconomic concern, and that policy needs to start preparing for transformative scenarios where labor becomes a smaller fraction of value.
If AI eventually substitutes for most cognitive labor, traditional macroeconomic models break down: wages no longer track productivity, and political economy stops resembling anything we have institutional experience with.
