“Sure, we probably could have avoided this if we’d accompanied our artificial intelligence products with any kind of workable universal basic income system,” explains Altman from one of his currently-burning $12.8 million San Francisco homes. “But I’d still rather die with all this money.”

'NDP leadership candidates pitch their rebuilding plans to voters in final debate'

During the debate, Tanille Johnston said Canada 'needs to bring in a universal basic income to pull people out of poverty, end fossil fuel subsidies and have proper government-to-government relations with Indigenous communities.'

Avi Lewis said the NDP 'needs to be putting forward big, bold ideas' including 'government-run options in groceries, telecoms and banking as a means of addressing affordability.'

Crazy how fast the communication has shifted - from - AI isn't really that good at coding - to - AI does the coding, but doesn't have the ideas - to - well we'll see - most probably - AI replaced my job...

"Inventing the Future" by Nick #Srnicek (2015) is a political and philosophical journey leading to 3 mutually-reinforcing demands:
1. Full automation
2. Universal basic income
3. Reduced work-time

Automation is great when its rewards are shared: the Luddites protested not the machines, but the concentration of capital.

It seems there's not been a better occasion to demand full automation - many are doing that already.

Now is the time to agitate for #UBI and reduced work-time (again.)

The government should just give everyone $500 a week and tax everyone who makes more than I do $500/wk.

Sometimes I think about the things other people have that I don't, and never will. Then I look up and see people begging everywhere, every traffic light and intersection. People carrying everything they own. Young and old stuck in a spiral that leads nowhere. And I can see how thin the thread is between me and them. #poverty #ubi #indifference #slumlord #hunger #aging

OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNMENTS AND BILLIONAIRE PLATFORM OWNERS: The more #jobs your shiny new #tech replaces, the higher your taxes must be to maintain enough buying power to keep the economy running, and cover energy & water depletion. That is all. TL/DR: Take all the jobs, pay all the #taxes! #UBI

It’s the law of unintended consequences. If you ban zero hours contracts most of those jobs will become self-employed. Better to be zero hours on an employment contract than to be self-employed.

"For years, I opposed Universal Basic Income, firmly and reflexively.

"That position no longer survives contact with reality.

"The most dangerous response is to pretend this is a liberal argument, detached from objective reality. It is not. The social consequences of mass displacement... spread. They destabilize everything conservatives claim to want to conserve."

The US is headed for mass unemployment, and no one is prepared
