General Discussion

a UBI being necessary, but have no idea how to get there. And their ideas about how those left unemployed as a result of AI are supposed to live are pathetic.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman suggested in one profile that a family of four might be able to get by on only a few thousand a year, because power will supposedly be free because we'll have fusion, and food will supposedly be almost free because we'll have free power, and smart phones will provide free education. He admitted that wouldn't include housing. He was at a Silicon Valley mansion when the interview was done.

More recently he suggested that after everyone on earth has their eyes scanned by his own Worldcoin company and their Worldcoin IDs registered (so he'll have everyone's ID and data), they can all be viewed as co-owners of the world's AI and will each have one eight-billionth of the rights to that AI, and if they don't want to use that fraction for entertainment, or to design a dream home they'll somehow be able to afford, they can sell or rent that fraction of AI capability to businesses, and that will make them financially secure.

Such geniuses, these tech bros planning our future for us...
