Part of why I think autocracies will outpace democracies, like China and the US. With better computational analysis, data collection, and advances in theory, we can do far better than the mass trial and error of a free market. We design cars, airplanes with simulation, but we don't do that with the economy because it's been too complex. Imagine a simulation of 400 million chatgpt's as citizens and being able to tweak those levers in an ensemble with 10,000 different outcomes.
