Don't call it a wealth tax. Call it private property as a service - PPaaS. After all, one of the primary functions of government is to implement property rights. The more property you have, the more your subscription should cost. Most wealth is in the form of government issued currency, shares of government chartered collectives, government allocated land and government enforced debt contracts. It's all about government services. If the government stopped policing theft and fraud that left one with more than five or ten million dollars worth of assets, people with more than five or ten million dollars worth of assets would be glad to pay for the service., if they aren't, it opens up a whole new industry sector.

The Altman beg is a confession that they have no plan other than to throw enough processors at their LLMs and hope a miracle happens. I guess Bitcoin miners can use them after Skynet fails to achieve self awareness.
