UBI is here (perhaps temporarily), and unevenly distributed in terms of fiscal and monetary allocation. AI is here, and in the hands of a few tax-evasive global corporations. So far AI has been good for: addictive attention farming, polarization, and social control. I'm a fellow techno-optimist, but the solutions Sam brings up don't feel effective, or at least sufficient. Our direction is ugly, and Sam isn't calling out the big players to change their course. Perhaps we need Universal Basic Compute: any corporation beyond a certain compute capacity (in FLOP/s) must allocate 50% to public utility. From there, individuals can vote to determine how they algorithmically represent themselves. |
