If I had posted a recent article you would have said that wasn't evidence of a long term trend. The problem has gotten worse and it's impacting the entire country now. My family members work at hospitals in rural eastern WA, and not only has the local hospital system there already collapsed, but the entire Providence medical system for all of the Pacific Northwest is at risk of going under too.

It's a fallacy to suggest that economic growth is finite, because human invention isn't a finite resource.

You opened by saying that you're not proposing economic stagnation, but then wrote several paragraphs arguing for economic stagnation. Human technology isn't a finite resource.

The space of possible future human technologies is effectively infinite, to say nothing of extraplanetary resources.

Degrowth is a euphemism for economic recession/depression.

Tax revenue is a tiny fraction of GDP, so the national debt is already many multiples over income. The current $1 trillion annual interest payments on the debt are larger than the entire defense budget. Worse, annualized interest payments are still going up by about $200B per quarter.

This would completely destroy an entire industry if they did this. Not just in AI directly, but also secondary and tertiary industries developing their own bespoke models for specialized use cases. This would be a total disaster.
