I get what you are saying, but the the subscription keeps your context (pays for storage that then lets AI give helpful suggestjons in your future prompts). Until we all run open source LLMs (infrastructure costs), it's worth it for me

The AI misutopia conundrum: the rise of zombie governments

By all accounts, AI should gut the government workforce, saving billions of taxpayer dollars.

But the public sector may *expand* first to mitigate against the AI (and later robot) job losses and associated societal instability. It all comes down to incentives.

Look at Canada: one in five (!!) Canadian workers are employed by the public service. There is a strong political incentive to keep these roles and to create "work" specifically to ensure continued employment to keep voters or get new votes.

I conservatively estimate we can cut 30% right now. We can automate and accelerate:
- Data entry
- Analysis and policy research (excel models, consultation summaries, jurisdictional scans)
- Briefing notes, gov response letters, and presentations

But this beast needs votes to live. And people need meaning in their lives.

So AI will usher in a new form of UBI: make work and give people meaning (exchanged for votes). Instead of having the population draw on social services, zombie governments will grow. A conundrum indeed.

The next narrative for Bitcoin price action will be connected to the AI wave as it's the most compelling. Capital is aggregating with equities (especially AI).

Bitcoin will go up because AI agents will use it to transact amongst themselves. Keep orangepilling AI
