At this point, I have grown sour on Guaranteed Basic Income and would rather a Prorated Guaranteed Minimum Income. I do realize it would be more open to fraud, but I just cannot see something without means testing going into effect. I would also hope the thing pays out in daily amounts, as opposed to the once a month problem of our current payments.
I still believe there will be non-ai jobs. In the near term, I'm wondering what an industry / government acceptable certificate (trade program) would be for robot technician. The government could probably help a lot of job prospects if it banned companies from barring third-party service of robots.
- mattmanser 10y agoThe reason no-one wants means testing is that it adds a massive bureaucratic overhead to the system, which actually defies part of the point of basic income, which is to get rid of most other, costly to run, social programs.
- protomyth 10y agoI believe that GMI also gets rid of all the other social programs. I just don't think it will fly that Bill Gates gets a payment. That is going to be a big opposition to overcome. I don't get where you can say "no one" since plenty of people want means testing for Social Security, etc. right now.
