> We're going to end scarcity and implement UBI,

I don't think that I've ever heard anyone in SV, at least not anyone with any real power, honestly suggest that. They don't want to pay people more than they absolutely have to now, and that's with most labor being done by humans. When humans stop being the engine of economic growth, why would those people suddenly want to implement UBI and end scarcity?

It's a fugazi meant to make you think that the people doing things have considered all of the angles, but they haven't.

Sam Altman says it all the time. If Sam Altman "doesn't have any real power" than the phrase doesn't mean anything.
How close is a bill implementing UBI to being passed in Congress?
