They all say this horse shit. They wont pay the taxes to do this
The person making this claim, Miles Brundage, has a distinguished background in AI policy research, including being head of Policy Research at OpenAI from 2018 to 24. Which is all the more reason to ask skeptical questions about claims like this.
What economists agree with this claim? (Where are citations/sources to back this claim?)
How will it come about politically? (Some countries are so polarised, they seem they'd prefer a civil war to anything as left-wing as UBI).
What would inflation be like if everyone had $10K UBI? (Would eggs be $1,000 a dozen?)
All the same, I'm glad he's at least brave enough to seriously face what most won't. It's just such a shame, as economists won't face this, we're left to deal with source-light discussion that doesn't rise much above anecdotes and opinions.
Former OpenAI researcher says a $10,000 monthly UBI will be 'feasible' with AI-enabled growth
Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.
Certainly not with that government.
Also, not with that "AI".
I think it's pretty clear now that LLMs are not going to change that much.
