A minister of AI makes sense, you can’t just ignore it.
A stable economic environment allows for us to make investments today that pay off in the future, but in a war like environment you need to mobilize the infrastructure you have and build support around it. Whether we like it or not we have a number of valuable resources in the ground and we need to start moving those resources elsewhere so we can invest in a renewable future.
There’s a lot of stuff I disagree with Carney on, but what I appreciate about him is that he is a pragmatist. He understands that at times you have to put your personal values aside and take the action that makes the most sense.
Winston Churchill was a racist, but he had the balls to take on Germany and not bend. Lincoln hindered post war reconstruction and his authoritarian overreach was unprecedented but he was the only person willing to tear a nation apart to rebuild it.
Leaders need to be able to put themselves aside to make decisions that produce the most utility for those they lead. This means occasionally getting pie on your face or going against your own heart. A snake acts dishonestly with malice, that’s not what’s going on here. Our current circumstances demand pragmatism we can’t crucify the only person in the room willing to act like one in the face of that.

This was really well put, thanks!
