It would be interesting if beyond the free access to services we get from companies selling our data, we also actually got payed. Maybe that could act as a bootstrapped first approximation of basic income. Get money by doing nothing, just selling your data and activities to ad machines or as machine learning training data. Just go out and exist in the world, act naturally, and if you're ok with your data being recorded and fed into a model, you'll be able to pay rent this month.
