Transcript: "Although when we when you when you start to get to… to specifics about what the 'we' is and what the interventions should be like reserve certain jobs or universal basic income. Um it feels almost incompatible with the way that we've ordered our society or with capitalism. Like it just it feels like it would require a completely different mindset and world that I'm not sure people are ready to get their minds around. No, the… we ban child labour, you know, we require professional certificates to do jobs. I agree that preserving the dynamism of the price discovery system uh is extremely valuable. You don't want to go to okay, there's this one central thing that makes all the food. uh you want you know people saying okay I have a Thai restaurant I have an Indian restaurant and you know there's a lot of freedom and innovation that comes out of that and that's why my proposals about the tax system shifting away from taxing labour to taxing capital and picking areas where you say no the robots are not uh going to replace all the humans in some cases for a period of time and in many other cases is never. Uh I think that's a… a valid debate. Uh and you know, if… if people think that's a bad solution or they don't see where it could apply, I think that's interesting because then I', you know, I'd be dying to hear from them what is their solution. Uh because jobs are very important for social connection and meaning. And um you know I… I don't want one party to be engaged in helping to minimize the challenge of AI. I want both. They might have different solutions but I… I think it should rise to the top of their list. Uh you know the data centre thing is getting it there but in a very, very narrow way." https://www.youtube.com/embed/U4zGLSlLo5A?start=912&end=1039
