UBI is out
Enter UHI

Musk believes that as AI and robotics advance, millions of people could lose traditional jobs at a scale never seen before. Instead of resisting that shift, he says governments should lean into it and redesign the economy around it.

His proposal is direct.
“Universal high income via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.”

This goes beyond Universal Basic Income. Musk is not talking about survival-level payments. He is describing a future where people receive enough money to live comfortably, even without working.

You now live in an Orwellian hellscape and they also plan to use this profiling to find antisemites, and people who aren't very productive (bad social score) and quietly drag those off to the side and kill them or conscript them.

Datacenters are a digital auschwitz.

They're trying to envision a future where the average person generates no value and is not catered to by companies. So the economy will be driven by the central authority/government and companies/feuds providing value to it and between themselves. E.g. imagine a shift from consumer capitalism to an all consuming MIC feeding the US war machine.

>>533343824
He is correct. Infinite robot slaves are going to do all the work for no compensation, it will be extremely unprecedented to have this much free slave labor available with no moral quandaries. It will create tremendous extra wealth that will be distributed to billions of freeloaders you don't think deserve it (well too bad). The sheer amount of free labor / production given by automation / AI makes it no problem.
The only argument against this is that the elites would just kill us all instead for some reason, even though there's no shortage of resources and no reason for fucking everything up with violence. Just because we're useless eaters (as many of us already are now)?
If nobody has to work, nobody has to work. Nobody has to die.

I'm mildly confident that millennials will still get wonder drugs that make us healthier / cure balding / look youthful. They already solved obesity and protein folding.

>>
I mean in some sense it seems inevitable because it takes two to tango, you can't replace workers without losing buyers, eventually, if nobody can afford what you are selling and that's even before considering worse outcomes of large unemployment. Creating more bullshit jobs maybe? Get more pencil pushers then? Maybe keeping goyim busy is still the better alternative than cutting the middle man and just giving them money to spend, they may get funny ideas in their heads with too much free time on their hands? Or maybe it's good for you if they are super pacified, they won't breed anyway

I’m not sure what you think is going to happen if UBI or UHI or whatever becomes a thing and how that could be anything but a rug pull for millenials who are finally clawing some money out of the boomers for the first time ever. If money becomes free for everyone right when millenials are hitting middle age then every single woman in the world will just be chasing after 20 year old chads. I don’t see how you can argue this

He presents himself as a technocrat and proposes abolishing capitalism on at least some levels. He says that production no longer requires human labor and therefore the output should simply be distributed among people.

It's the same phenomenon as with the green economy. They convinced people with propaganda that it was the future, to the point that the bubbles became too big to fail. And now the government is forced to keep these unprofitable industries alive to avoid a collapse.
>>
>>533350653
Money is basically a measure of effort to meet economic demands under scarcity. Inflation occurs when the money supply outpaces this metric. If there’s no longer any effort required to meet economic demand and you can basically ignore scarcity then the old math no longer matters. Money itself could be done away with and replaced with a digital ledger of what each eater can consume for free with the system still able to maintain post-scarcity.

>prices rise to match demand

Prices of mundane goods will never skyrocket because of it unless you live in a turd world shithole where people fight for the last cabbage on the shelf.
Premium products and services- probably, for some time. Real estate and stocks- oh fuck.
I can't imagine how it could work with the stock market. The state hands over money, it comes partially from dividend companies where the state has a share- it gets reinvested into said dividend companies by the people who received the money.

UBI "soft" communism will eventually prevail, but not in the way leeches believe. You're still going to be required to contribute time and energy in some fashion.

Ironically UBI becomes increasingly plausible with MORE people, not less, because the measure of contribution will be determined by hundreds of millions of people doing incrementally LESS work as MORE people exist to contribute.

True walkable, clean energy cities will be a reality. Food, electricity, clothing, community engagement, quality entertainment, education and higher education will all be available to everyone that gives their time to improving society.

Niggers of society will be thrown out and sent to 3rd world Mad Max-tier hellholes with no advanced weaponry, government or society so they can devour each other.

The guy sells robotaxi

he has the blueprint

what is robotaxi, an automated machine, that stills need some basic maintainence, so it's not full automation

there may never be full automation

there will be only semi-automation

just epxand the logic

robo taxi

give everyone a robo taxi, this fixes unemployment

make robo taxis that offer other services, make robo taxis that produce goods

make robo taxis that produce solar panels

lease them, they pay for themselves

US is in massive debt, has a growing debt-to-GDP ratio problem, super-wealthy people pay (relatively) little tax because it's all unrealized capital gains, and a relatively large % of the taxes are paid by high-wage-earning, educated professionals who are supposedly going to be unemployed by AI. Most of the US GDP is consumer spending, which relies heavily on the high-wage-earning professionals who will supposedly be unemployed.

Everything has stagnated because of government intervention. Even musks bullshit e.v. battery storage tech is from the 90s because the entire energy storage tech doesn't move forward due to it being fiscally irresponsible when there is a never ending stream of "free money" to continue to use the same old bullshit.

Just provide UBI (no strings attached) proportional to the increase in production enabled by AI, end all welfare, find a way to make this tech as open as possible (and in open source/open hardware), and let people figure it out. At some point you won't even need UBI or UHI. But that is not the plan. They want you controlled in a digital gulag of an open air smart prison.
