The Ai boom has not only killed the creative industry but also made treats more expensive for the treatlerite, the whole reason they support the country in the first place, so whats the goal here why further alienate the labor aristocracy that supported you in favour of Ai (a technology I will always hold to be a scam) all for reaching AGI and even if it does reach AGI whats the goal then? No one would be able to afford it unless your rich and your economy can’t rely in them forever the end of the road here is societal collapse nothing more
The AGI stuff is complete hot air. Even OpenAI doesn’t believe in it. They haven’t specifically admitted but they have heavily toned down hyping it up.
AI affinity is driven by the tendency of capitalism to cannibalise itself. In the short term I think their hope is that it will decrease the quality of creative output but not unacceptably so but the increase in the volume of output will counteract it.
As for the labour aristocracy part I’m not sure. The capitalists have always hated them. Seeing how the Trump administration has put zero attempt in manufacturing consent for war against Venezuela I guess they gave concluded they don’t need to coddle the labour aristocracy anymore and don’t seek their welfare or approval.
