South Korea's universal AI, universal basic tokens, and the US-China mindset gap

Yeah, we actually see that South Korea have announced that — for universal AI for all the people through a consortium — and that's the core of the Champion initiative that kind of we're doing as well.

That's what Bernie should be talking about, not ban AI. It should be tokens for everybody. Make it a universal right.

And I think they want them to be smarter. That's the thing, you know, like, um, it's not like that. There's a very good book on this, Fully Automated Luxury Communism, you know.

Yeah. No, I'm familiar with it. And I think this — by the way, it's not just about tokens for everyone. It's not just about — maybe there's some ism that we're missing, like tokenism. We need to coin tokenism here. Free tokens, or essentially post-scarce universal basic tokens for everyone.

But I think this is where, when Peter, you talk about abundance, this is where all of the other forms of abundance I think are likely to come from. We make tokens — at least universal basic tokens — essentially abundant for everyone. And then everything else, the healthcare, the utility pricing, the food, the shelter, the education, these are all downstream of getting everyone universal basic computing, universal basic capabilities.

100%. When you've got access to AI and robotics, you have access to everything you need in life.

Yes. Everything you need in life. Right.

Um, I think one point to make here, again, we've discussed on the pod a number of times, is the mindset of the US versus China. China is 80-plus percent pro-AI and the US is 80-plus percent against AI. And it is got to change. And I hope everyone listening to this podcast can hear why, right? This is the most important — this is, um, you know, this is a jetpack for your mind and for your life. This is how you get ahead.

Funny statistic on that, Peter, because I made that t-shirt, less talking, more tokens. Uh, and I wore it on the podcast a couple podcasts ago. About a third of people thought I was talking about crypto tokens instead of AI tokens. Another third thought I was talking about bongheads.

Like, okay, this would not happen in China.

So, yeah, that backfired on me a little bit.
