Price in the externality. The multiple of US GDP that OpenAI currently seeks in funding should certainly suffice to fund UBI, and if that slows down OpenAI's development of new capabilities, then that should still be preferable to the alternative of OpenAI being enjoined from doing business until that is done.

Of course you may respond that this is unrealistic, which it is; it requires a government capable of acting via regulation in defense of its citizens, and so nothing like it will be done.

I would love to have UBI. If AI fear gets that going I would be happy, but I must agree that is unrealistic.
