this would.be a long term disaster for the us economy. you would have an unproductive or deflationay technology subsidized by the federal goverment. if ai raises productivity then it will be deflationary (making nominal gdp shrink). if ai does not raise productivity then you have a misallocation of capital backed by the federal government. instead the us should invest in things that actually would grow the economy, like cheap energy for one and basic r & d for two. An economy based on regurgitation of what has already been written is not competitive with economies that actually make things and make new ideas that are practically useful. name one technology invented by an LLM so far?

Aren’t the big AI labs doing both those things?

Is this a joke? Again what technology has an llm autonomously developed?
