Nations that keep placing obstacles in the path of AI (e.g. taxes) will lose to nations that don't.
Ask yourself if this is a race you're willing to lose
If someone can’t find work they probably don’t care about the global consequences
Nations that wholeheartedly embrace AI and destroy their economies won't survive very long when all of their citizens are out of work and too broke to afford food or housing.
The nations that survive will be the ones that control the use of AI.
And to be quite blunt, any comment that suggests that AI is relevant to more than a handful of jobs doesn't understand how the world actually works.
I've seen this statement before. I'm not sure why my nation winning AI, whatever that means (first to AGI?), is better for me than some other nation?
