What AI really seems to be posed to do is make labour a lot less valuable and capital a lot more valuable.

Running a government requires a lot of cash flow. I think its sort of inevitable that it's going to need to start coming mostly from the later and not the former.

We've moved all the money into the capital economy and all the taxes into the labor economy and the well is running dry. There's nothing to be done!

Why presume that "running a government" is inevitable at all? How much longer do we think these states of old are going to putter on for?
