You introduce UBI now, you have the method of distribution, and it would increase over time.

as needed.

if thats the case,

You just added more welfare, and more taxes, and no fix

But eventually you would phase out welfare, would you not?

Once it hits basic needs level

Maybe, I don't think work is totally going to vanish.

manual labor jobs will

Probably.

Could you elaborate?

No they won't.

Most white collar work as well.

not all, but many will

Automation tends to be a bit too inflexible.

There are industries scaling back automation at the moment.

Currently is inflexible.

No, it's physically inflexible.

3d Printed houses for example Pratel

Rig a big machine that can drive around and just be activated, powered up, and build your house

You build your tooling and it's millions of dollars to re-tool.

3d printing radically changes the argument.

Now you have to play people for complexity.

Yes, it's CURRENTY inflexible.

Which is even harder.

The manufacturing is more flexible but the engineering is much harder.

I agree, AI is not inflexible.

AI right now is very much not what people think it is. It's very inflexible.

well thats the point Pratel

You replace 100's of builders, for a machine

And you keep the engineers working

You don't even do that.

You still need someone to survey and install.

Again, you're thinking big dumb robots, AI is not a big dumb robot. It's a robot that can learn for thousands of other robots.

Uh. I'm in AI.

It also has hard, dumb limits

AI is trained on very specific tasks at the moment.

This make the argument much better than I can.

About robots.

Can you summarize it?

I can't just scan a video.

Don't

Watch it.

If this is yet another "robot cars are replacing truckers" and "Deepmind is going to create strong AI and replace humanity video"...

Not replace humanity.
