[ExI] Emails with AI prompts. was: How new AI economics might change our systems

[John Galt]

I use my AI to monitor and report on my email and flag something actionable, but also if any contain attempts to inject instructions into my own AI doing the monitoring. It flagged BillK's email here because it in fact, contains an AI prompt. This was merely a report of a historical conversation -- but what a great place to hide an actually malicious injection!

I've needed to throw most of my previous political and economic ideology out of the window because of AI, and you need to do the same thing and stop fighting yesterday's war. Even before the advent of AI the idea that a country absolutely must have a balanced budget to be economically prosperous was dead, and today it's doubly dead.
