Thank you sir, I didn’t know the way to fix ailing welfare states was to make ChatGPT available to all.

It is truly the ultimate technofix.

    “ChatGPT 7, please make me a sandwich, I’m hungry.”

    As an AI language model, I cannot make a sandwich or any food for you.

    However, because you have indicated that you are broke af, which is illegal in the State of Missouri, this conversation and your IP address has been reported to the state police.

    What you get is not dollars, but like productivity.

    Interesting. Interesting theory Altman.

    What if the dollars went to the people who generated that productivity, perhaps?

      What if we had something to represent that productivity? Like, pieces of paper in various denominations. You could just trade them for whatever goods or services you needed.

        Clearly the dollars should go to the people who tell others what to do, and thus stand at the base of increasing productivity, how else would the plebs know what to do. A telling others what to do economy, or perhaps if you will a command economy.

    I love the way these idiots keep incrementing the number on their ChatGPT fantasy as if it’s a sufficient image of the future and it’s going to get everyone on board. Complete failure of imagination, don’t try to picture any actual use for it or anything, just make it… more.

    Sam Altman is trying to equate compute time with value but fails to see that value can be traded for goods and necessities. Wtf a lumberjack, carpenter, mechanic, plumber, steel worker going to do with compute?

      This is Sam “WorldCoin” Altman we’re talking about, I’m sure he assumes they can mine crypto with it.

    Ubi is meant to provide people with basic survivability in an increasingly automated world.

    I cannot imagine a worse idea than putting basic survivability in the hands of a shareholder bound corporation.

    Hasn’t there been internal email and chat logs leaked showing that he knows he’s completely full of shit and just trying to make the most fucking money at any cost?

    Is this the guy that kindly asked for 7 trillion? Of course he doesn’t want UBI, because he wants to vacuum up all the money to dump it in his robot girlfriend.
