@perplexity_ai Re: cross-thread context in Spaces—one idea: what if users could mark specific threads as 'reference-enabled' (toggle on/off)? That way new threads access conversation history from marked threads only, users maintain control over which threads inform context

Curious who folks would marry, date, or friend-zone... and why. Thoughts welcome. Assume self-custody is a given (hardware wallet preferred). No keys = situationship.

Grab coffee w/ @ethereum Talks about coordination theory before your first sip. Wants to improve humanity but/and #cantdecide which #DAO to fund first. Too theoretical to date, too experimental to marry but/and a great friend for long debates and late-night ideas. #ETH

Marry @Bitcoin Reliable. Stable (in code and consensus, if not yet in price). Doesn’t chase shiny things. Not great with surprises, but you’ll never worry about them rug-pulling you (protocol immutability). A bit emotionally unavailable (prefers principles over passion). But

• For U.S. readers: the federal budget for Medicare and Medicaid alone in 2025 is projected at approximately $1.8 trillion USD — showing just how significant this potential tax base is. • Note (again, the auditor in me couldn’t ignore the framing): The AI GDP projection uses

Calculation reference (the x-auditor in me couldn’t resist): $15.7 T × 34% = $5.34T $15.7 T × 20% = $3.14T How that $3.14 – $5.34 trillion in additional AI-driven tax revenue compares to global public spending: • Global health expenditure in 2025 is projected at around $9

To put this in context: • The estimated global GDP for 2025 is about $117 trillion USD. • According to PwC, AI could contribute up to #$15.7trillion by 2030, roughly 13–14% of today’s world GDP. • If global tax revenue averages 34% of GDP, $15.7 trillion in additional

If robots and AI drive output, society’s #taxbase and #redistributionmechanisms must move beyond old physical concepts. It’s worth noting that the #annualtaxdollars generated by additional AI-driven GDP could rival (?or even surpass?) spending on the world’s largest public goods

If AI systems (especially those generating significant output and GDP growth) don’t “live” anywhere, and their value is global, then a national-only tax regime misses a huge — and growing — portion of the world’s productive base. Tax systems will need to evolve to track global

Traditional tax systems are built around the idea that income (and liability) follows human presence: payroll, residency, and physical office locations. AI and highly digital businesses increasingly escape physical presence: they operate in the cloud, with decentralized

Current tax systems still rely heavily on physical presence (people, offices, payroll) to assign liability. Revenue is attributed to the entity that owns or deploys the AI, not to where the AI “operates.” This allows firms to shift profits through entity structures rather than

It’s also worth noting the friction that offsets the benefits of asynchronous human teams — namely the administrative burden (+$$$) of operating in multiple #taxjurisdictions. Which leads to/inspires the thread that follows: AI isn’t currently locked to a #timezone or a
