Good catch, hadn't seen that.

So the researchers, shareholders, and leadership of OpenAI will be happy to give up being ridiculously wealthy so they can be only moderately wealthy, and everyone else gets a basic income?

I'm also just skeptical of UBI in general, I suppose - 'free' money tends to just inflate everything to account for it, and it still won't address scarcity issues for limited physical assets like land/property.

I've love to be wrong about both of these things.

I agree UBI can have that problem, but I think it can be avoided if e.g. the government owns the means of production.

There are still risks in this scenario.
