Screw UBI, it's a dumb half-solution. AI should be fully nationalized to solve the problem. Socializing the benefits is the only way to realize a good outcome for this technology for the vast majority of people.

- palmotea 1y ago> If you nationalize AI and distribute the profits evenly per citizen, you've created a basic income scheme. You're kinda missing the point. I suppose what I propose would be a "basic income scheme," but not UBI ("Universal basic income (UBI)[note 1] is a social welfare proposal in which all citizens of a given population regularly receive a minimum income..."). I consider the essential feature of UBI that most of the profits from AI are reserved for the billionaires and other shareholders who own those systems, and only the minimum amount needed to prevent the extreme desperation that can lead to revolution is socialized. I'm proposing all the profits from AI be socialized, and the billionares get no more than you or I.
