No, the people building the shite customer service chatbots that we all hate using should take a stand.

It would be great if everyone made personal financial sacrifices for the things we thought were important right? The world would be a much better place in my estimation.

Relying on individual developer's ethics is not going to work. "There's always someone willing to write the kill-bot software." I've in the past objected to (and refused to) develop ethically questionable software. It doesn't make a difference, because Bill, two desks down, is happy to write whatever software boss tells him to write.

no the govt should just pay ubi because we're at the point of needing it. it'll only get worse. Businesses should automate so people are needed for less menial stuff and can just enjoy life and shit.

Not far from now even intellectual jobs will be a.i.

post scarcity star Trek civilization is very possible if we stop letting greed control us.

disclaimer : I run an ai automation agency, and support the fight against poverty and for universal healthcare and stuff, but the faster we automate the faster the govt is forced to roll out solutions to fix the problems automation creates.

There will be a war, not UBI. UBI the way AI safety guys want it is never ever happening.
