That's because GPT-4 was only introduced a few months ago, and right

Bullshit. Because of Trump's bungling during the Covid crisis at least half

His domestic and foreign policies were better than Joey's have been, that you

I agree, AI will accelerate everything.

Shouldn't simply be AI, but 3D printing and perhaps, the arrival of Drexler's
nanofabricators? If it's just AI, it'll will be harnessed for the super rich
alone, and the difference between the rich and the rest of humanity will vastly
expand. An Elysium Eath.

Side issue on economics. Inflation only occurs when there is no Return On
Investment, ROI. In Technology, and I will use Medical, if successful at all,
there is an immediate, intrinsic, ROI. In this manner both Keynes and Friedman
are correct! We can also achieve this via printed money aka

That's because GPT-4 was only introduced a few months ago, and right now
it's as stupid as it's ever going to be. But it's
Productivity increase due to AI has yet to materialize. Systems like
ChatGPT are not all that useful for the economy as a whole, because if
you are a manager or programmer and you earn $300,000 per year and you
can now do more work per hour, you are not going to work less hours and
take a pay
Events of the last year have not turned out as economists thought they
would, they thought the US was heading for a recession but that hasn't
happened, and they all thought inflation would remain stubbornly high but
for the last 3 months it is only been at 2.2 %, and the Federal Reserve

As Freeman Dyson pointed out, you don't need land or even the Earth in

Interest rates have the function of marshalling the productive resources of
an economy towards pursuit of the most economically productive ends.
Anything with an economic return less then prevailing interest rates isn't
worth taking out a loan to invest in putting resources towards that
endeavor.

But perhaps the utility and scarcity of land will diminish after the

I have a theory about interest rates and I'd like to know what those who
know more about economics than I do think about it.
When it comes to economic forecasting the generally accepted beliefs that
an economy's population has is all important, and it doesn't even matter if
that belief is true.
