re: Are Dems ahead of the curve on corporate taxes as UBI becomes necessary due to AI?

Yet. It won't be AI alone though, so you are right about that. Robotics, automation, and AI will do that eventually. There are already robotic/automated roofing systems, brick and block laying systems, and on site 3d building printers. Those are real use cases, not demonstration models. All of it is early stages but cheaper and more efficient and reliable than humans. It will spread to other areas like remodeling eventually.

My concern at that point is what does it do mentally to an idle society when man is not meant to be idle, but that's a whole other topic.
This is why AI needs to be stopped fully and completely.

It's amazing how some people here can't have an open discussion and simply resort to name-calling with no basis for it. You sound like a retarded liberal when you do that BS.
I have never once even ventured near anything worthy of me being called a socialist. In fact, I would say my post history is very clearly contradictory to anything socialist leaning.
Having a discussion that AI is a disruptor that could greatly change societal needs isn't partisan at all.

Once AI in robotics has advanced enough to replace humans across all industries to keep up production, then why would a bunch of satanic worshipping elites bother with implementing UBI? Seems like they would focus on depopulation to preserve resources. Then keep the remaining population under a surveillance state as basically slaves they can utilize for their demonic obsessions.

Most people are in serious denial on this issue. AI is a big reason I have become so anti-immigration. It is insane to be importing labor at the rate we still are with this just on the horizon. I also think we need to be looking at payroll and income taxes to keep human labor more competitive.

You really don’t see how UBI could become necessary when AI can take jobs way faster than society can create new ones?
Yeah subsidies worked wonders for making higher education more affordable. Let's just hand out wads of cash. What could go wrong?

Until AI, or some other avenue can fully find UBI, there isn't a conversation to be had about implementing it.

I was in the same camp a few years ago. I thought AI would take decades to get to the point of doing tasks that would eliminate most jobs. I was wrong and it's already happening. Amazon has eliminated 30,000 jobs since last October. Not because of a lack of revenue but an increase in efficiency.

Automation. Been happening for decades.

A lot of those tech jobs are being clawed back in the tech sector. People over estimated AI at least in the short term.

It has indeed, most of the current layoffs are office/corporate jobs. Slightly different from the old days when the person operating a pneumatic screwdriver was easily replaced with a robot and the desk jockeys were safe.

Of course I do! But history is filled with those returns being distributed and democratized (where there is freedom and capitalism).
No offense, and it’s not aimed at you, but generally—people have a lot of magical thinking about AI as if it’s some magic wish grantor. A genie of you will. It’s nothing more than a data model. And a pretty flawed one at that.

UBI should never happen. Look at what humans become if they don’t work. There is always work to be done.

I never said it would happen overnight. Fully autonomous taxis were just something to laugh about a few years ago.

trickle down worked great for me, but it was never going to work for losers like you.

Didn't you start this thread with the suggestion that UBI was inevitable? That's a socialist argument. Socialists are real good at leveraging "change" in advancing socialism.
