.@AndrewYang on how to actually "tax AI, not humans": "Dario Amodei said tax tokens. He suggested a 3% token tax. I'm gonna suggest that might be a little low, but his mechanism at least is great." "You could tax the compute layer, and I think that's an effective proxy for AI." "The other thing I'm going to suggest we're way behind the curve on, if we did this it would actually solve most of the problem, is we should have a value-added tax in the US which would, by the way, capture AI, capture compute." "It's really straightforward for a multinational tech company to not pay meaningful income tax in America. You can just push all your income through Ireland. And you can't wriggle out of a value-added tax." "We're still the richest market. We're the number one consumer market. Obviously, it's not a realistic threat for a US company to be like, 'We're not gonna sell there.'" "A value-added tax at even half the European level, because our economy is so massive, our economy is at, let's call it 31 trillion or so, gets you maybe, like, 1.3 trillion, which would cover UBI almost in its totality." @Fwd_Party
