So many logic flaws it is hard to believe it has been written by a grown-up (or has it?):
- “It wouldn’t necessarily lead to people doing less work – it would enable them to do better work or to invest their time in more socially useful activities.”: what a breakthrough, how come nobody has ever thought of it before?
- if people are given money for nothing, what are all the charity work for?
- with UBI, who in their right mind would to the dirty work that right now "are not compensated fairly"
- "AI companies, meanwhile, will have no salaries to pay. “Because there are no human beings in the loop, the profits and dividends of this company could be given to the needy. This could be a way of generating support income in a way that doesn’t need the state welfare. It’s fully compatible with capitalism. It’s just that the AI is doing it.” is it just magic or a cartoonish vision disconnected from reality?
UBI is slavery, you take it once and you'll have to kiss the ring for the rest of your life
