We don't know what impact AI will have on productivity in our immediate future but Universal Basic Income (UBI) is the only way to share AI and productivity gains with EVERYONE, and it needs to be everyone because we all trained it with our data/work and funded its development with public dollars.

@scottsantens@hachyderm.io genAI is likely an dead-end for actual AI research; the massive spend on genAI is result of greed, not because its actually fit for purpose. Personally I think some form of UBI is necessary to redistribute. But I also think that the Venn diagram between genAI and UBI is a vanishingly small intersection.
