      From the article 

      Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on governments to tax AI companies to fund a universal basic income and introduce employee retention incentives to account for the potential impact the technology could have on the labor market.

      In a five-point blog post covering the potential policy responses to the “AI exponential,” referring to the rapid improvement in the technology’s capabilities, Amodei urged governments to develop regulatory and tax solutions to cushion its disruption.

      A universal basic income funded through taxing “relevant companies” or raising the capital gains tax could be necessary, if AI results in widespread job displacement and permanently reduces labor demand, he said.

      “Broadly speaking, fast economic growth should create the tax base for shared prosperity,” wrote Amodei.

      What money will that yield? These AI companies lose BILLIONS a year. Nothing to tax lol

      Btw these guys have 0 intention to do anything in favor for humanity, let alone something like UBI

      I don’t care what anyone says universal income is the only option going forward.

      And people that make the arguement that the powers that be would never allow that. I have bad news for you, you are part of the problem.

      How about they pay for the water, pay for the electricity, pay for green initiatives to overcompensate for your destruction.

      The way I see it, UBI will eventually be mandatory for humanity if AI truly gets to a point where it does 95% of jobs better and cheaper than humans. The only question is do we get it the easy way (government initiatives and private company agreement) or the hard way (hunger, riots, death, destruction)?

      Even if this happened, presumably this would only benefit the US. Meanwhile, they will have stolen the rest of the world’s data and left us without any source of income.

      i’m so fucking tired of CEOs superficially suggesting popular policies as a way to indirectly boost how powerful their own products are

      Wouldn’t stop there, would tax all companies that do not employ fleshies to pay for UBI… if they do not hire a human, they can support their UBI.

      Nice idea but at the end of the day these people will fight tooth-and-nail against regulation and paying their fair share of taxes, any statement they make to the contrary is being used to deflect against public resentment of this technology and actual efforts to curb its harm to society. We saw how this played out with social media and Google’s ‚don’t be evil‘ pledge.

      Means the world would move to a post capitalist society and move into a new model . Which model? I am not smart enough to come up with that

      Also. Capitalism is founded in scarcity. One can argue scarcity is artificially created.

      We can’t even get normal, nevermind good, healthcare. Universal basic income will never happen in the US.

      We can’t even raise minimum wage or the social security cap, why would anyone believe our government could administer UBI? Fuck all these AI oligarchs. 99.9% of humans don’t want AGI and certainly not ASI. Fight me.

    15. baby_budda on

      UBI will be like minimum wage or Unemployment Insurance. Can you live off that? And once those jobs are gone they’ll change their minds and say they cant afford it.

      Because big companies and billionaires all have a stellar record on trying to pay their fair share.

    18. nicheblanche on

      Maybe they should focus on becoming profitable before talking about what to do with it?

      They’re putting the cart before the horse

    19. No-Test-4028 on

      I came for the commenters who would somehow find a way to cry about this inherently positive gesture. Was not disappointed.

      It’s an unfufillable promise to keep the data centers being built at warp speed.
      Do ultra wealthy people give away anything of value? No

      Translation: we’re getting really bad press lately, let me put out a memo to my captured tech journalists to try to distract the poor’s for a few more months until we can IPO

    23. Dekaaard on

      Or, stay with me here, we just reject runaway hype and bullshit bubbles. Instead of a stipend, people keep their positions and work on projects with constructive goals or aims; instead of sitting home on the Tech Dole.
      Don’t speak up or piss them off, your TD will disappear.

      Unfortunately UBI is a nice theoretical concept that will never see the light of the day especially in a capitalist society.

    25. not-that-actor on

      The only way UBI comes is through national service and things like Claude Corps and some other programs that will put the onus on these big Frontier Model companies

    26. Reach_Beyond on

      *as long as he and his buddy keep their wealth, control how much UBI you get, and HIS AI does gobble up the entire world*

    27. Vandorol on

      Tax AI and tax every single transaction on wallstreet at about 7% which is what we normals pay at stores. That will fund universal oncome and also universal healthcare.

    28. snowcat0 on

      They will promote it for the press conference but pay millions to lobbyists to ensure it doesn’t happen…

    29. filmguy36 on

      Let me guess, everyone will be taxed but the rich.

      Just like everything else

      They live large without having to pay for anything

      Heck of a plan

    30. JoggingGod on

      AI isn’t even generating a ROI yet. These guys need to chill with their BS
