I know it's impossible because of our global economy, but a tax on AI agents that save companies millions of dollars would be reasonable, otherwise they just get a massive efficiency boost and society(taxpayers) deal with the fallout.


The reality is many people just can't do jobs that require intelligence over a certain point. You can't just say train and educate. Some people are just dumb.
I'm sure they're grappling with it and coming up with sweet F all. In fairness to them, I don't know that there is an elegant answer. Your tax idea is probably one of the better ones I've seen, but like you say, impossible because companies will just use ChinaBot3000 and get around it that way.

I think everybody has worked with someone who can barely tie their own shoes. I worry about those types a lot. I'm a pretty optimistic guy most of the time, but I don't see how things work out for those people without crazy levels of government intervention.
