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.
I was going to make this very joke before I saw this.
lmao
Instead of Universal Basic Income, everyone should be given a small stipend to pay tribute to I, Sailor Sega Saturn. I demand tribute!
I will do anything for you, Segata Sanshiro!
セガサターン、しろ！
so when you can’t get the retail and/or enterprise markets to give you enough money to get dem gainz you were hoping for on your grift, ah yes naturally it should be government money that bails you out. got it.
Hey it worked for that other fascist guy
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.
How long until Sam Altman says that Social Security checks should go straight to him ?
Likely already happened years ago, but hasn’t been made public yet.
Bitch, please.
What you get is not dollars, but like productivity.
Interesting. Interesting theory Altman.
What if the dollars paid for that productivity 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.
And remove those dollars from those who have the most of them?! What are you, actually crazy?! You’re clearly crazy.
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.
So trickle down AI?
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.
Can I use it for groceries?
This is part one of enshittification: You give your service away to get users, and cater to their wishes. Then once they’re hooked you can do whatever you want because they can’t leave.
Just more technofeudalism from a technofeudalist.
it’s more insidious: it’s not giving it away. it’s subverting the “hmm UBI is good actually” argument and saying that people should receive compute instead of money, with a quiet “oh and naturally someone will have to pay us for providing them that compute”
not that I’d bet against them pulling a lock-in move down the line as well (or upsells or any number of other exploitation plays), mind you

Is he trying to reframe the concept of a free trial as if it’s some altruistic thing?
personally, I’m in favor of it. imagine all the use cases. shouldn’t take long
Can’t wait for the mental gymnastics forthcoming about water and energy use.
Oh, they won’t be issues. Well be drinking Compute straight from the can, and all our appliances will run on direct Compute inputs. You’ll get home from your job earning 10 Compute/hr at the Compute factory, pay the standard 120 Compute charge to unlock your front door, hop onto your Compute Generation Dynamo for an hour to power the oven, and then settle down on the sofa for the evening to see what’s on Soravision - discounted to 7 Compute/hr for GPT+ subscribers.
