The oil dividend (likely what they are talking about though I didn’t look) is something like $1,300/year. That’s not universal basic income in the pie-in-the-sky way the phrase is usually used. No one is interested in whether the Alaska dividend makes people not work.

If UBI is limited to a low amount that you couldn’t possibly live on then sure, it’s perfectly possible.
