AI experts think they know how to help economy, believe they have to social economic solutions. “AI experts.”
The “AI” just regurgitates what it programmed to say.
Fixed.
I’m no fan of the concept, but I’ve said for years that when Robots and computers can replace all jobs. And by “all”, I mean “all”, the only way most people can survive will be through a stipend. It’s either that or civilization collapses.
However, that won’t work because we already have something like it called welfare and its cousins. That may keep the poor alive, but their quality of life SUCKS. Human beings have three innate desires.
1. Food, water and air
2. Sex
3, Feel useful.
This would destroy number 3. That is where unrest, revolutions, etc. come from. Frankly, I think we’re already seeing it.
I still don’t understand the thinking.
The fear seems to be: “AI took my job! I have no hope of an income!” and the Basic Income “solution” usually seems to be: “Here, have $1000 a month. Now you have an annual income of $12,000 for the rest of your life. I have saved you.”
I never see any Basic Income suggested that would be large enough to do anything for anyone. Of course, if they “gave” everyone a truly large sum each year it would cause massive inflation and disruption. I just don’t see any scenario where a Basic Income does anyone any good. It will always be either too small or too large. It’s asking for trouble.
It’s a bribe for votes and it seems pretty blatant.
End the leftist minimum wage laws and bring back the plethora of entry level and unskilled jobs that used to exist in our economy.
More government will not fix this or any other problem.
Anything to make money worth even less.
It’s the commie way.
Where does the “wealth” come from if no one is working productively?
Who creates and maintains the AI if everyone is getting paid for not working?
These “AI Experts” and their predictions of AI taking-over everything are becoming ridiculous.
I’m reminded of Al Gore’s “expert” prediction that by 2013, NY City would be under 2 feet of water due to global warming
So let me get this straight....
The government taxes people so it can have money to spend on stuff.
This guy is proposing that the government take some of that money they took from people, and give it back to people, basically everyone, or am I missing the meaning of universal?
Do you see my confusion? How can the government take money from people if they don’t have money to begin with (because AI took their jobs) and pay them with what?
Aside from taxing, what other sources of income does government have? Where’s the money going to come from???
What the globalist slavers want, is for the peasants to be kept under control, by trapping them in poverty forever.
The more responsibility they have for you, the more authority they have over you.
So you’d need like a 99% tax rate and it still wouldn’t work?
bkmk
Universal income is about control and extermination. No shots, no money
Human beings derive a huge amount of meaning from work and the income they earn. Take that away and you get a lot of depressed, aimless humans with no reason to live.
Universal income is like a zoo without the cages. The need to hunt for our food (even via the daily grind at the office or factory) is deeply rooted. We may complain, but we need it.
