1) replace all low level government assistants with DeepSeek

2) replace all middle managers with ChatGPT agents so there is a sufficient maker-checker process with AIs with different objectives

3) replace the citizens of Hong Kong with AGI so that we can exponentially grow our economy without the constraints of people

4) issue all AI with $2 Octopus cards to encourage more AI into the city
