I personally like how he is trying to think of a way to look after everyone if AI leads to large amounts of unemployment. I like the idea of basic income.
At the same time though. It's weird. he get's to play around with this money and I am guessing reduces his taxes at the same time?
I am sure there are some other wealthy people doing similar but for far less benign purposes.
