Universal Income is good for the lowest and highest of society. It puts cash in consumers hands so they can hand it to the rich at the detriment of the middle class.

frick anyone who suggests it

Why does nobody understand that he is talking about a problem on the horizon that is unavoidable and also what will have to be done to fix said problem?

Good and bad for anything. Women may actually be fulfilled by not having to stick their kids in to daycare full of yellow snot bubbles out the nose.

It may open up things we always wanted to do. Homemade bread taters onions small cabinets that Karen's buy off marketplace.

Men with woodworking skills, women that paint stain decorate lettering.

No AI will ever do HVAC. The AI doesn't have the buttcrack for plumbing, landscaping.

It is coming. Go study China in YT videos.

No AI will ever be able to calm a baby with an earache. Women can crochet and cook like mom's in the 60s 70s.

Clean up schools to be actual learning, no social experiments.

As long as we all get a Rosie from the Jetsons Im in...

I agree with musk on that but where does the government money come from? Do you tariff imports to redistribute income? I don’t see where the revenue comes from unless you tax the shite out of companies in which case they simply move elsewhere.

Then, those who overspend what they are given will grow angry at savers who build wealth, demanding that their savings be taken away and redistributed.


Of course, this also opens the door for social credit scores and more government control over behavior and what it deems acceptable.

Musk argues that the government can safely expand the money supply. The reason why is because the AI/robotics will create goods and services at such a radical pace that it will outpace even the creation of new money.

Yeah I am looking at a lakeside condo with a Rosie Jetsons robot---- on Mars, with options to move to Jupiter.

All of the white trash and hood rats are all moving to Uranus with the LGBTQURS+ world. Rainbows, flags, raw goats milk.. Each pod comes with a constant keg of old milwaukees best and pink purple hair dye, body piercing tat shops.

Naw, hell naw man. Why, if they was giving out high dollar monies to us working middle class folks, well that means the billionaires wouldn’t be getting that money. Hell naw man. We like to work a lot. Give any extra money to them billionaires. It’ll trickle down. They need it more than we do. shite. They don’t need to be paying any taxes neither. Maga 4 life brothers

Is Elon sounding a warning ?


I would call it a "creative" marketing campaign. So many will be moved by this calling and pray several times a day for UHI proceeds from AI components that their guard against AI development is dropped and "I SUPPORT AI" bumper stickers become standard issue on cars and trucks nationwide.

In reality America cant even up keep roads, bridges, build fast trains, monorails like in Disney.

Pods to transport instantly. We may bypass female sex dolls that malfunction... and go right to space.

Yes. Not in the immediate future in my opinion, but our current class of kids needs to be concerned about their future.

If the super rich and governmental elite (with the backing of military technology) have no use for most people and most people require needs, goods, and services to stay alive, what’s the point of keeping most people around?

And again, what Musk is actually saying here takes this line of thought out of the equation as the AI/robotics will create goods and services in absolute abundance. It isn't anything that the "elite" will need to concern themselves with because all needs will be met. And then some. And then a lot.
