Sam Altman Proposes "Universal Basic Compute" Instead of UBI - Through OpenAI

Out of touch / delusional. And according to this Twitter person, it's 'responsibility of the people' to have an income. As if some 'law of nature' says this is a thing. It's not, it's just what happens when there is scarcity.

As I see it, he could be not articulating the impact of his idea. If I owned a slice of GPT-7 productivity and sold it to someone else, that's my basic income. If I didn't need that baseline of cash I could use it for something else.

I'm a bit dubious, I doubt the economics work. But it's not like Elon Musk has suggested that cars or satellites could be a universal basic good.

why is this guy online? shouldnt he be behind bars and without computer?

GPT as Basic necessity!?!?!

Yeah, Good luck with GPT-7 when you have governments paying £35,000 a month on Floppy Disks to run Critical National Infrastructure.

Good luck getting fed and having your basic shelter needs met by a "slice of GPT time".

This is literally just a scheme for the government to pay Altman’s company a fixed amount for every single citizen. The ultimate in crony capitalist bullshit.

One wonders if he is struggling to find a way to make the value of GPT models worth the price he needs to charge to keep them working.
