i also think this is going to happen, but i do worry that basically everyone believes the same thing. i haven’t heard many people even entertaining the idea that money printing doesn’t immediately come to the rescue to offset deflation.
i get the idea that governments have just as much debt as consumers and like to print money, but if AI does lead to deflation and money printing isn’t the immediate response, that feels like trouble.
the likelihood of this is small, but the impact if it occurs is huge.
