Well, with your initial comment it sounded much more like you intended for people to get a resource (compute) that they themselves exploit to generate revenue (cash) as opposed to just giving people revenue (cash). Which to me defeats the whole point of UBI and is likely to be worse as whatever resource picked is in no way going to be exploitable by everybody or sellable for the same price as it was obtained by the government. > As far as scalability, with hundreds of billions being spend on compute in order to train AI, I doubt scalability of distribution would be a major issue. I guess with the covid stimulus being in the trillions, spending just billions wouldn't have the same scalability problems.
