By: Sen. Sanders; Fox News AI oligarchs do not want to just replace specific jobs, the reality is that they want to replace workers Artificial intelligence (AI) is the most transformational technology in the history of the world — and will have a profound impact on the life of every man, woman and child in […]
Or, now hear me out, we tax the shit out of the rich and their corps, and implement UBI. That was supposed to be the plan ever since futurism envisioned advanced automation - the tech does the work, human reap the benefits and just do whatever. Capitalism just came along and fucked it all up instead because that’s how rich assholes and investors measure their scores.
They always weasel out of taxes. My idea was to give each person something like carbon coins that works like an emission permit. Give everyone the same amount each month and keep it within nature’s limits. Then, if someone wants to do something polluting like run a datacenter, they’ll just have to purchase the coins for that from the open market from those willing to sell. The end result is still money going to the poor but not as a tax, and hard limit on pollution.
Well it would cause massive deflation, which will cause loose monetary policy, which will debase your paycheck until its cheaper to hire you than it is to use a machine. Which is nothing like capitalism.

It takes one country to not play along and the whole industry rushes there…
Yes, there is a need for tariffs, based on worst cause estimates of pollution, for countries not playing along.
Isn’t that the principle of carbon credits ? (cf message from [email protected]). It doesn’t work very well in practice, it’s riddled with loopholes.
That the same for taxes that UBI would depend on. See Panama papers. Corruption and loopholes are an issue in any system.
Anything but doing UBI, lol.
Oh and btw:

Essentially that but without the building thingie and without that ⬇️
Yeah, there seems to be a lot of resistance to giving money, replace systems and taxing parts of UBI.
Reworking existing systems seems easier.
Psychopathic capitalists don’t feel like they’re winning unless everyone else is losing.
