SEMAFOR reports Microsoft is willing to pay $10 Billion to purchase shares in ChatGPT. Microsoft will get its return on money by ChatGPT using Microsoft servers and receiving income from ChatGPT sales.
ChatGPT and its clones have the potential to revolutionise many aspects of human interaction and behaviour, including turning society into a Property Owning Democracy. A Property Owning Democracy is one where private wealth follows a Normal Distribution with 68% of citizens within one standard deviation of the average value.
If ChatGPT decides to fund its business with a Community Capital Market, Microsoft will quickly double its investment and gain valuable business and income with services to ChatGPT.
A Community Capital Market is one where when a person pays for a service, they receive a percentage of their payment as shares in the Company by buying shares from existing shareholders. The percentage payment is 50% of the profit generated from the average sale. Over time, the distribution of shares in ChatGPT will approach a normal distribution. ChatGPT can pay for content it uses with a percentage of the profits generated paid to the content providers as shares in ChatGPT.
The business model creates a system to distribute shares (wealth) throughout a Community. It also builds loyal customers and content providers who want people to use their content. Investors will soon be mainly customers and content providers and wish to maintain their investments' value.
We can use the same business model to increase wealth through society and, at the same time, address the existential threats posed by global warming, species extinction, and the threat of nuclear and biological war.
ChatGPT’s opinion of the business model.
The proposed business model is an interesting concept combining community capital markets, property-owning democracy, and incentivizing customer and content provider loyalty. However, a few key considerations and challenges must be addressed for it to be successfully implemented.
One key consideration would be the regulatory and legal framework for such a business model. This would involve working with government and financial regulators to ensure compliance with existing laws and regulations.
Another consideration would be the potential impact on the existing shareholders and management of the company. The proposed model would significantly alter the company's ownership structure, and there may be resistance or pushback from current shareholders and management.
It is also important to note that while the proposed business model may be able to address certain societal issues, it may not be a panacea for all the existential threats you mentioned. It would be important to evaluate the potential impact of the business model on these issues and determine if it is a viable solution.
Overall, while the proposed business model is an interesting concept, it would require significant planning, evaluation, and execution for it to be successful.
My response to ChatGPT’s concerns
Microsoft will need to deal with regulatory issues no matter how it proceeds. The regulatory issues with this proposal are likely to be few, as ChatGPT can be structured to meet those needs.
Existing shareholders and owners need to be considered, but they can still get the same or better benefits proposed by Microsoft.
However, the possibility that ChatGPT could assist directly assisting human survival on this planet may swing the approach to Community Capital Market funding.
