For example, he might personally support DSA/GDPR, but he says that the US generally views these as “non-tariff barriers” to US service companies[0] and doesn’t bother evaluating the policies themselves. essentially saying for the purposes of predicting how the US will react, it's sufficient to analyze how the US views them and the actual policy details lose relevance in that context. He also shared a detail[0] about how the US placed their lobbyists as commissioners on GDPR, which is an interesting operational detail that argues against the broad support argument you’re making. Another question is whether there would still be broad support for some policy after it has been enacted and its adverse effects have been felt.

In the event of mass unemployment level AI, cash stops being the agreement between humans. At first, cash value of services&goods converge to zero, only things that hold some value are what AI/AI companies care about. People would surely sell their land for 1M$ if a humanoid servant costs 100 dollars. Or pass a legislation to let OpenAI build 400GW data center in exchange for 100$ monthly UBI on top of your 50$ you got from a previous 20GW data center permit.
