JD Vance on AI: 'No Evidence of Mass Unemployment'
At 1:19:53 · chapter starts 1:11:50
Dillon plays a clip of Vance saying he's seen 'no evidence in the data' that AI will cause mass unemployment — a claim Dillon finds inexplicable given that AI creators have explicitly and repeatedly warned about this. He then plays Vance's surveillance clip, where Vance says AI is 'fundamentally a communist technology' and worries about social credit scores. Dillon skewers the hypocrisy: Vance is friends with the tech CEOs he claims to fear, and his administration sought to have Palantir merge all federal government databases into a unified citizen profile. The contradiction between Vance's stated concerns and his actual alliances is the defining tension of his political brand.
