Stop saying that we don't need a Universal Basic Income in America. Here is computer scientist and cognitive psychologist Geoffrey Hinton, explaining exactly why we will need a UBI to deal with AI. It's only a matter of time. If we keep demonizing a UBI instead of implementing one,... show more

@geoffreyhinton UBI is the only way forwards. Poverty will skyrocket otherwise. People need to get on board before the population collapse is due to greed

Ed Krassenstein1 year ago

@geoffreyhinton There isn't an incentive for large corporations to distribute the wealth. We need the government to step in here.

@geoffreyhinton This has been said about every technological revolution since the beginning of time - yet every advancement has created entire new workplace and industry segments that need to be maintained… and new markets. I’m not saying UBI won’t be needed, but it’s too soon to tell.

Ed Krassenstein1 year ago

@geoffreyhinton That's not a fair argument. No tech before has ever been able to be smarter and more intelligent than any human being. That's what we will see. We will also see this AI teamed with robots that are faster, stronger and more flexible than any human being.

It needs to be explained to people that at peak adoption of advanced artificial intelligence and advanced robotics, the value of money and labor plummets to 0, and we enter a post-labor AND post-consumer economy and society. They can debate it until they’re blue in the face. But math will not lie.

@geoffreyhinton Yeah too many people are in denial over what's going to happen.

@geoffreyhinton Who pays for the UBI?

Ed Krassenstein1 year ago

@geoffreyhinton The companies profiting off of AI at the expense of former workers.

NewAIWorld1 year ago

@geoffreyhinton I also agree we will definitely need something like UBI. I just think that many people are currently blind in front of the upcoming revolution, thus nobody talks about it...

Ed Krassenstein1 year ago

@geoffreyhinton So true. People just don't understand what AGI and ASI will do for society.

🚨"CAPITALISM IS ABOUT TO BE ERASED... AS AI USHERS IN UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME" Mo Gawdat warns the economic system that built modern civilization will collapse when AI replaces all jobs, forcing governments to implement UBI while purchasing power declines massively. "We have lived within a capitalist system that is about to be erased. Everything you and I know about the world of today is built on labor arbitrage. If AI replaces all the jobs, the only answer we know so far is UBI, universal basic income. When UBI hits, whether you were the partner in a law firm or the paralegal, now that you're not adding value through your productivity, you're all paid the same UBI. The economic purchasing power of humanity is about to decline massively." Mo Gawdat

Elon’s been saying this for years. His view is that AI will eventually make a lot of jobs obsolete, and in that future, UBI, universal basic income will be needed so people can still have a living while machines do most of the work. He’s called UBI “necessary” in a high-AI future, but he’s also said it should be more like a “universal high income” tied to making sure people benefit from AI productivity, not just getting a basic check to survive. He’s repeated this on interviews and on X multiple times.

Peter Thiel on UBI in 2019: “If we had runaway automation and we’re building robots that are smarter than humans and can do everything humans can do—we probably have to have a serious conversation about Universal Basic Income.” “And you’re going to end up with a very weird society.” Via Eric Weinstein

Elon Musk Random Idiot Elon, Absolutely. I agree and we should think of the society we build after Universal High Income. The Time Price of the basic things we need approach to Zero. The UHI will not even matter to most at for point. It is a cast no longer needed on the broken leg economy…

Elon Musk on Universal Basic Income as a solution to mass unemployment when AI and robotics take over "What to do about mass unemployment? This is going to be a massive social challenge. And I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. That’s simply the case, and I want to be clear that these are not things I wish would happen. These are simply things that I think probably will happen And if my assessment is correct, then we need to ask: what are we going to do about it? I think some kind of universal basic income is going to be necessary"

Elon Musk on why universal basic income is coming and also points another massive challenge: “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice. I think it’s going to be necessary There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better These are not things that I wish would happen - these are simply things that I think probably will happen If my assessment is correct, then we need to say, ‘What are we going to do about it?’ Universal basic income is going to be necessary The much harder challenge is how do people then have meaning? A lot of people derive their meaning from their employment If you’re not needed, if there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you have meaning? Do you feel useless? That’s a much harder problem to deal with”

Keep calling, writing, and speaking out. Republicans are in the middle of trying to pass Trump's big bill, but it's not a done deal. They know it's a bad bill, and we need to convince just four of them to stand with working families. If we can do that, we can stop this thing.

We have a problem in our society that we must come to grips with. We have members of our society who celebrate an assassination, and we need a dramatic course correction. Anyone who mocks the murder of an innocent father goes beyond the bounds of what is humane, and it must end. We as a society, we as a state, must send a signal that celebrating the assassination of a free speech advocate is wrong in a civil society.
