The point of AI maximalism is that you wanna saturate all domains with AI as much as possible. Basically, think about electricity, like, you we're not we're not saying, oh, electricity needs to be regulated. It needs to be, you know, there's only certain places that you can use it. It shouldn't it should only be used, in in hospitals, but not in libraries or schools. Like, that would be really absurd. And that's really kind of the level of discourse that's happening right now is people like, well, I don't know. AI, maybe we shouldn't use it in government. Maybe we shouldn't use it in schools. Maybe we shouldn't use it in entertainment, which in in the long view of history is gonna seem like a really stupid, like, conversation. And so when you compare it to technologies like, I don't know, computers or electronics or electricity itself, there's basically no limit. So why don't we just cut to the chase and say that AI will eventually be everywhere. So why don't we just go ahead and make that the official policy?
