Where is the money going to come for a UBI?

Presumably it would be distributed as Worldcoin airdrops. Either those airdrops will quickly reduce the value of the coin towards zero because nobody’s going to trade real money for WorldHyperInflationCoin…

Or, Sam Altman will somehow create Worldgov too that will fund this brave new Worldcoin UBI. Doesn’t seem terribly likely.

Maybe it’s an AI Underpants Gnome thing where step #2 is “posthuman superintelligence will solve it!”
