## Extracted Topic Notes

- evidence: Jiang says he worked for the United Nations for six months as a public-relations officer, found it among the worst experiences of his life, and quit because he could not sleep at night. Source refs: `video:interview-izzvijq0gka@transcript:v1#seg-0258`
- normative: Jiang says capital should go to small entrepreneurs building restaurants and other businesses that employ people rather than to the AI-finance complex. Source refs: `video:interview-lst0wo6qrki@transcript:v1#seg-0043`
- model: Jiang says the AI boom creates a paradox: if the technology fails the economy implodes, and if it succeeds at scale the economy still implodes through mass job destruction. Source refs: `video:interview-lst0wo6qrki@transcript:v1#seg-0043`
- diagnosis: He argues that large-scale AI adoption would create unacceptable social and political disruption in China by making millions of workers redundant and undermining Communist Party legitimacy.

## Retrieval Notes

This file is generated from Jiang Lens episode JSON, semantic tags, glossary terms, source refs, and transcript segment matches. It is not a manually authored canon page.

Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed above. For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view.

For broader or missing-topic search, use the letter shards under /topics/index/ before falling back to the bulk transcript-search files.
