GDP Growth

“I truly believe these models are already just incredibly powerful. Like, they should be so powerful to fuel, you know many, many points of expansion of GDP growth, and I think it's, like, up to smart people with vision and ambition to make all that happen.”

“I think for the first 10 years of this century, it was growing over nine percent, and for the past decade or so, it was around seven, and over the past five years, it's more around five.”

“It's 75% of GDP growth in Q-one.”

“Bernie Sanders calling for a moratorium, shutting out all data centers. We'd have negative GDP growth this year. The stock market would be down 15 to 20%. Unemployment would be on the rise.”

“CapEx for this year that's expected just from the four leading hyperscalers is six hundred billion dollars just from four companies. That's a roughly two percent tailwind to GDP growth right there.”

“Last year, the four largest companies contributed one percent to GDP growth with their four hundred billion dollars of spending.”

“I think we're going to see an acceleration of GDP growth. Pick, pick your time frame. Three, five, 10, 15 years. Like, we're gonna see, I think, an extraordinary period of economic growth acceleration.”

“That's representing at least a couple percent of GDP growth right now. That's driving massive investment in infrastructure and chip manufacturing and energy and all of these things.”

“There's the long-term power competition between us and say China, and then, you know, is war become You know, how many robots do you produce? And, you know, it'd be unfortunate if we both end up having to spend a bunch of money on that because of distrust. Kin…”

“No matter how much we cut, and I think there's a lot of ways to cut, you can't cut your way to deficit neutrality in the government, basically. You can only solve this problem through growth, so we have to get to, like, three plus percent GDP growth”

“AI has been responsible for about half of GDP growth this year.”

“Assuming in the next 10 years we get AI that is capable of doing any remote job as well as any human. I think, you know, 30% GDP growth seems like a lower bound on something that's reasonable. Assuming you get, this is a big assumption that a lot of people are…”

“I hope we can get much closer to five, six or more percent GDP growth. When looking at the future, it turns out one of the most expensive things in today's world is intelligence. This is why it's so expensive, at least in the US, to hire a highly skilled docto…”

“I think you're gonna get to much more than four to five percent GDP growth in that world.”

“You keep reducing it, commoditizing, in some sense, intelligence so that it becomes the real driver of GDP growth all around.”

“Like in the first half of this year, Data center related spending. Which, like you said, they're like these giant buildings full of GPUs accounted for half of GDP growth in twenty-twenty-five.”

“I mean, you see the data, almost the entire GDP growth Is AI CapEx.”

“I do think that the GDP growth is the one path that's left to resolve this. I don't think we're going to just cut spending.”

“You are rightfully identifying, ah, the most likely constraint for, ah, AI progress, and hence, by definition, GDP growth and all that stuff, right?”

“I think GDP growth and productivity growth has been roughly two percent since the dawn of the industrial revolution. And I'm willing to lean into the fact that it'll be two percent for the next 20 years.”

“But the idea of just cutting this all the way down and then finding through that process what you actually need, I think can find America a 102 hundred basis points of GDP growth.”

“When a government tries to increase the taxation level north of 20% of GDP of that economy, that you actually see GDP growth go negative.”

“Even now of the GDP growth, 20 families benefit 70% or 80%.”

“So without the benefit of a global environment that is expanding, we are managing to hit, for the full year, we'll probably hit something like seven percent. That's a really solid growth rate. Easily makes us the fastest growing economy in the world.”

“AI will cause, and this was Six years seven years ago. AI will cause great abundance, great GDP growth, great productivity growth, everything economists measure, and increasing income disparity.”

“We are mis-measuring growth, or to put it slightly different, we're over-measuring inflation, because that, those two things boil down to the same thing, and we've known this for a long time, but it turns out the process is getting worse and worse, simply beca…”
