Microsoft tried to invent a Twitter AI and it turned out horribly wrong by creating a racist, homophobic, anti-semitic, childish, bigoted AI who likes to troll, spam and criticize everyone. How? Because unfortunately, pretty much everyone on the internet are just like that. They turned down the AI a little while later after found out how bad it can possibly be for us to rely way too much on AI.

Funny how technology has changed so fast but our education seems stuck with the same kind of teaching patterns like what is being used in early Renaissance era. Even something like computer science education stuck with the knowledge from like 10 years ago when the field is changing in like every 10 minutes or so.

Today's doctors spent 4 years in pre-med, another 4 years in med school, then 2 years in residency. 10 years mastering their skill and expertise. TODAY, a robot can "doctor" better than a human doctor. Years spent in education won't save you. That which is very challenging for humans to master is easy for robots. This includes driving safely and efficiently, and includes careers in medicine and law.

It's funny cause Alaska's UBI doesn't even cover the cost of goods increase for living in Alaska. It's more expensive to ship anything up there, so everything they import is going to be more expensive than here, and over the course of a year, the $1000-2200 doesn't even cover that lol

We don't need UBI. We need transformation through new business models that don't operate on hierarchical ownership, but on shared proportional ownership with protections against the exploitation of labor. This is an issue of exploitation of labor rearing it's head. Without exploitation of labor as "efficiency" that is in reality paying someone less than their portion of a product's worth, this is an advancement that benefits all owners. The problem is that a few consolidate ownership. A factory worker that owns their portion of the means of production wants to replace their labor with a machine's when that makes their means of production yield greater results. These same means of production then transfer into a different labor role of shared ownership and new jobs with their portion of this new means of production as maintenance and development of these machines. This is again a simple idea. I'm just explaining why it works. The idea is that if people maintain ownership of their means of production, this is a non-issue. Exploitation instead cuts out these would be owners since they have no ownership as soon as their work is no longer needed. That makes sense in a way, but as consolidating ownership into the hands of a few. All workers must own their portion of the means of production. Such ownership when replaced with machines can be invested into machines for higher RoI by working less. What a deal! Again a deal made impossible by consolidating the ownership of the means of production. The state has no right to ownership of the people's means of production. Oligarchs have no right to the people's means of production. Only the *people* have the right to their means of production. A government cannot consolidate this power to protect the people's right to this ownership. It can only protect human individual property rights as civil rights protections against exploitation against ownership of one's portion of their means of production. It is becoming essential for our economic stability to protect this human right as a civil right.

+Charles Bronson Legal argumentation requires creativity. You need to be able to imagine how a judge would interpret the argumentation and "invent" issues with the argumentation, even when only checking documents. They will also have to take into account changes in society and the current political climate, all which can influence the interpretation of the law. So the bot would need a lot of creativity and be very senstitive to all the influences from the world. My guess is that t AIs ability to think creatively will be heavily regulated to prevent them to become dangerous. We made genetic experiments largely illegal because they pose a threat. I imagine AI will be treated similarly. Lawyers and judges are also the least likely to be replaced, because they write the laws and interpret the laws once they are passed ;)
But if you have UBI wouldn't it mean all products will gradually get more expensive (because at first everyone will be able to afford them, so the price will have to go up). Eventually people who rely on UBI as their sole income will not be able to afford basic sustenance.
take our shitty jobs. give us the universal allowance to pursue our passions. this is the end goal of civilization. do not bemoan joblessness. work for yourself. the robots will do the grunt work while our human minds transcend fear of lack of basic necessities imposed by a greedy socio-economic system. the day of happiness is upon humanity soon. the end is nigh! yes, the end of capitalism and the beginning of our global relaxation.

Robots can't climb 300ft and repair a wind turbine, build an apartment, or fix your plumbing (they would get wet and break).
Nobody is thinking how to shift to a new society where the scarcity of jobs is welcome and there will be little need to work, hence money will virtually be useless and not scarse. Basically, we are approaching the moment when the current society structure does not apply

Severance pay for normal firing= 2months wages Severance pay for robot replacment = 6months wages and elegibility for gov subsidized software development/CAD design boot camp. Convert public libraries to public internet access points + 3dprinting/lasercutting/fab houses that operate at cost to help people develop products at low cost. (they're somewhat obsolete for finding information anyhow) it may not be enough.. and it already sounds like its too expensive. but i think we're gonna have to do something like that to keep the economy and workforce healthy

As a (social) libertarian the whole basic income made Intuitively uneasy a few years back. When I heard the arguments as to why (same is in this video) I was already on the fence because as a programmer I see how fast AI is developing And in the next 50 years I think that indeed 50-80% of the jobs are obsolete. And we cannot let 80% of our country die from hunger and you want to have them have enough to by the goods and services that are now produced by robots. So the basic income seems to be the first step to eventually a currency free world.

Not all pleasant, not all true.
I imagine with the combination of automation and UBI most jobs will move to the financial sector. It would be an investment based economy. Take your base income and if you invest wisely you better you life style. Invest poorly and learn from your mistakes. Try again as you will always be financial secure. I think "Human Made" will become a thing as well. Most likely just a niche market.
im all for universal income as long as it comes out of these corporate monsters pockets
Robots will be making and repairing other robots.
Try and have a side hustle if possible.
I WONDER IF CONSUMERS ARE GONNA BE REPLACED WITH ROBOTS TOO. NOW ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER ARE COUCHES TOO!!
Instead of UBI, why not simply progressively reduce private taxes to match the increase in production?
Am I the only one who thinks that the future looks awesome? More time to dedicate to the thing we really love, without caring about the money? HOW people will spend the time they have it's their freedom.

Yes, they have been trying this in the Netherlands for a while now.
Jobs become automated because robots can do a better job for a cheaper price. Who will be able to pay for a companies services and products when a large majority of people become unemployed. For example, a large car company automates completely, sure they can now drop their prices but.... (Ford for example employs over 200,000 people). Now there is 200,000 less people to buy your product because they have no job and money. Obviously they won't all remain unemployed, but if enough jobs become automated a vast majority of them will remain so. Would love to hear what others think :D

If it only goes to poor people then it's not UBI, it's just targeted welfare. Removing targeting and making welfare universal actually removes the disincentive to work because you won't lose benefits if you get a job, unlike many current welfare programs.

This will sound scary and radical but its less of an impact than a UBI. Double every ones pay by raising the minimum wage, make a 10 hour work week part time and a 20 hour work week full time. Everything over 20 hours is overtime. There we just doubled the number of jobs. Do this again and again until humans work very little. To those that argue that people needs jobs to keep their mind from being idle, many jobs do just that, menial work leads to an idle mind. Also the comparison to a Wall-E like future, I argue that we are already headed for that future with consumerism. The jobless future may actually give people the time to think about and act on the bigger problems soon enough to divert from this dystopian WallE like future.
Currently training to be a pilot... fuck me.
They will have to start applying automation, and AI in a more humane way. They will have to start thinking in the context of how do we make the job for the worker better instead of let's save money and move to complete automaton! .
I always agreed with UBI. I believe everyone should have some sort of income security and knowing that there house note, and car notes will be paid
Robots and AI will be in need of our metadata. So you pay the infrastructure with your metadata, they build whatever you want. Special projects to solve problems; explore space; solar, fusion, no wars... Ah that last bit. No wars. Yeah. I don't know about that last bit.
When it's a glitch I don't believe it's ai...that's too convenient.
One concern I have regarding UBI is the shift from what we have now; a 'poverty trap', to a 'basic income trap'. How are people going to legitimately get ahead financially when you've already got an entitled elite that has amassed a hoard of capital during the good ol' days of labour exploitation. If we live in a world where everyone gets a set amount with less and less jobs available; it would almost seem like the elite, no matter what, will come out to be the true victors in the end. The wealth and rentiers of the top percent will lavishly live in a life of extreme luxury, have robots do most of their work, while everyone else gets a paltry acknowledgment that they can exist with basics provided. That sounds dystopian rather than utopian from my perspective.

Robots create enormous wealth that didn't exist before. They do the jobs that millions of humans did, but do not need to be paid a salary, healthcare nor benefits. Their only cost is occasional maintenance which pales in comparison to the cost of hiring a human worker. Where will all that new wealth go? There are two options: into the pockets of the business owners who own the robots or into the pocket of the government through taxation on automation The only way to prevent 99% of humanity starving in the streets will be to tax automation and use those taxes to implement universal basic income.
