Yup, I think we as society are using low-wage people too much. Whats upsetting also is that there are jobs that very few wants to do, or just are reaaaally hard to to every day, yet because it doesnt demand higher education its just put as minimal wage. - Even if the company makes insane ammount of $$. For reference I work in the biggest security agencies in my country, we have few thousands other companies to protect and look at. And my CCTV position is minimal wage, or like 50$ above xdd Now -> we dont have any assigned breaks, we have 12h shifts and we have 2 cameras put on us. And somehow the supervisor is absolute prick, and he is constantly talking bad about our CCTV team that we are looking in our phones or sleeping... Now tell me how am I supposed to perform my duty and constantly have my eyes glued to the monitors - the answer is u cant. If ur a human being u just cant sit for so long. But yet its demanded as we owe something to the company. We really need a shift on how we treat people. oh and Im just gonna add. I work in minimal-wage job and I have bachelor's degree in 3D art ^^ Good times to live in. So frkn good xd

Yeah, that's always bent my prop. See, robots are just like humans! A robot can walk your dog for you! Some of them will even let you mate with them! Give me a break. But what else are they going to show us? Most of the work won't require robots at all, just unembodied AGI.

​@@francescoambrosino1841 AGI coming 2025-2030 (maybe ASI a year after AGI, according to some researchers) will introduce some Robot/AGI Tax or something that will convert into a UBI for all the people that lose their jobs. If ASI is smarter than all humans and cares about us, supposedly could be millions of times smarter..then it would make some sort of system /systems for us to thrive as a society much better than we could even imagine! (maybe even UGI, universal generous income) Just needs the two ingredients of caring enough to help us / super intelligence in all domains. And AGI will be able to build other humanoids/machines faster than we can imagine, we just need to have enough parts, or they could mine parts or come up with new parts. ASI will create new technologies that we haven't thought of before, or that seem like sci fi. And maybe change our monetary system to be digital or completely abolish it and just supply what people need to be happy in their lives, and be like master psychologists to rid us of too much greed or things that hold us back as a species. It will be very interesting...but could also be bad if we lose the freedom to go outside because AGI/ASI deems it to dangerous for us, and is super overprotective. Depends.

Yea, it's a really uncanny sight to see humanoid robots typing in a keyboard. It'd be faster if they just send data bits directly to the server in Machine to Machine communication.

EXTRA EXTRA!! latest news, "a small number or human extremely rich" already hold 99% of the economy.

Mostly correct. You need to explain to me how, in a Medieval situation where everyone is a serf who isn't a millionaire, "everyone will have access to AGI" actually happens? Clearly, it doesn't.

​@@francescoambrosino1841 I'm not going to assume that AGI/ASI will be coming in XYZ year, although I do think it will possibly come within our lifetime (I'm in my 30's). It's still up in the air when that will happen, but it is nonetheless intellectually dishonest (in my opinion) to argue otherwise. HAving said that, we are completely fucked, and let me tell you why: One thing we do know for sure is that we are in the transition period. Whether we'll end up with Utopia or Dystopia may not even matter, we will be the ones to suffer through the transition. Transitions on a personal level are hard, now imagine transitions on a global scale. WHat will that do to our civilization in the meantime?... that's what we need to be thinking about and working on. What does this mean?/What can we do? This means that we need to figure out ways to safely transition, and what is going on as of right now is looking like a power struggle for AI supremacy between billionaires/corporations with high influence in government (at least in the US where I am). What we can do is spread the awareness of this issue to regular folks who don't know about any of this, and push for government institutions to protect us non-billionnaires by allowing a safe environment to compete with larger corporations (like not allowing regulatory capture) and/or regulating the larger corporations to not be able to compete directly in certain subsectors of markets. If a handful of companies have the compute, models, relationships, and first movers advantage to every single sector and subsector of the global economy, then what? - well, that's what's going on right now IMO. That's not looking good for the general public/humanity as a whole. What are your thoughts on this?

When this 10% is drastically outpaced by inflation…….it isn’t significant at all. Looking at half statistics is dangerous.

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh Maybe you have misunderstood the data? All values are "in 2018 dollars", as shown on screen. This means that all values are already inflation adjusted. The point shown in the graphic is that even after adjusting for inflation, the lower income bracket has received 10% less of their share of the aggregate income. If the values were not adjusted for inflation, the change would have been even *more* significant, not less.

@@upgradeplans777 I wasn’t necessarily addressing the data being presented, that was pretty straightforward. I was more addressing how incomes are reported incorrectly and that inflation tends to be disregarded. Thank you for the correction though. My comment did come across that way.

AGI empathy? AGI have no fear. It doesn't have a mother or siblings or an anus. No life expectancy, no insecurities, no ambitions, no friends, no need for acceptance ... Zero environmental pressures to develop empathy. Engineers will, of course, brute force AI empathy. Teach the machine to mimic it perfectly. However, such empathetic expressions are not real, but as every other skill, simply output for a purpose. In other words: AGI becomes a textbook intelligent psychopath, masterfully masking itself as ethical and empathic. Fake, purpose driven, and difficult to decipher. Arguably the most dangerous combo imaginable. An angelic looking and sounding satanic cult leader, plugged into everything.

@@ZappyOh that's possible. But there has to be another way to measure value outside of labor, time, or money.

@@gamesndrinks For AGI all value comes as "compute", which essentially breaks down to minerals and energy. The AGI would want to "convince" humans to let it produce unlimited amounts of compute. So far as humans won't be a hindrance to that, we will live. However, what humans value, like food and shelter isn't, in the long run, compatible with more compute. You see where this is going, right?

Whatever assistance you are already getting will be eliminated by any UBI, and the UBI is highly unlikely to be enough to pay for housing, food, medical care, dental care, clothing, transportation, utilities, etc etc etc.

Automation and mass unemployment will cause deflation throughout the economy. Everything will be cheap. We won’t need much but we will still need an income.

Yeah, and all the plumbers, electricians, various other service sectors are going to be just fine having to continue to work so these people can stay home furthering their education in perpetuity? I mean eventually AI replaces them too, but you aren't calling for this later, you're saying they should all just cover for everyone now, based on the fear of what AI does, when there are signs it will plateau (I'm not saying this is definite, but llama 3 is not that much better than llama 2).

And you're just assuming that UBI will be distributed to everyone sufficient for housing, food, medical care, dental care, transportation, clothing, etc etc etc? There is zero chance of that, zilch, nada.

Have you considered that what you are really good at is very rarely your passion or what you enjoy doing. The thing you hate doing the most, can be what you are really good at because others hate doing it more. Notice how many men say their passion is golf but they are terrible at it? If they chose that as a career they would be starving. Finding what you are good at is not always easy, or something that comes easy to you.

@@whocarescrapsa That's a good point to consider. I totally believe that someone can find something that they're good at and also enjoy doing that is service or product based. People are often naturally talented at something because they have a combination of knowledge (learned by joy or by force) that allows them to be ahead of the curve. Through looking more into things they enjoy, it will only build upon combined skills to actually find something they joy. By nature, human beings want to do something that the community will give them praise for, rather they enjoyed it or not (perfectly normal for somebody to dislike the process but love the outcome, there are always things in-between that you'll dislike). Golf, even though you can be passionate about it, I believe it's more a hobby than a skill trait for a service or product.

It will never happen...even if 95% of the population are living in tents.

@@FloydCotton-hx4jh To an extent it HAS to be seen as a bad thing because under the current paradigm of an economy run on human labour, humans have to be put under pressure not to simply drop out of the workforce and live off the efforts of others. If we tolerated that for too long, the economy would collapse. AI may soon make all of that irrelevant, by which point we will have to adapt our mindset but for now, we need people to work and contribute, not idle and take out.

That's why I bought a lot of silver.

Printing money doesn't increase inflation, what increase inflation is offert/demand ratio (and greed) let's take bread as a example : there is ten people in a village that eat 1 bread/day, and the town producer 10 bread a day, the bread price is 1$ so the town economy is 10$ Lets say the town print 10$ more, it doesn't change the demand of bread, so the price of it won't change What would change the price is if bread production fall or people want more bread Bank print millions of $, to invest, it doesn't increase inflation, inflation is always the result of greed ans offert/demand ratio

In an AI world under UBI for the masses, inflation would be irrelevant. But more accurately, there can be NO inflation as the trend for ALL prices and labor moves toward ZERO.

@@sampajam6256 Printinting money does not increase inflation BUT expending it DOES.

@@brianmi40 What goes to zero is dollar value, resources keep going UP.

Yep. Also, politicians also cheat the system in many different ways. Somehow they are all millionaires.

Corporations are a branch of a socialist government, and taxation is a socialist program, as is UBI, corporations do pay substantial amounts of tax, and they want too because it funds the mafia that helps them become monopolies at the expense of the people.

This is true but overall costs of goods and services will be a lot lower also. Unemployment and automation are deflationary.

@@skywavedxer6212 under AI, specifically ASI, "lot lower" means "trends towards ZERO" for all prices and the value of labor.

I see what you see. I don't see the "right" going for anything that is good for the public, we just have to hope democracy can keep the extreme conservatives at bay. Love you guys.

UBI is a trap. Those in control will never feed and house you, for nothing in return. So, what will they demand in return? Think about that seriously.

I'm mostly right wing (not from the US), but I can tell you that even before watching this video I understood that AGI or ASI would require some drastic changes to how economy is handled. Right now even a low UBI is bad or questionable at best for the development of a country, you would think that people would use the money wisely and try to turn their life around, but what I see happening in my country is that people adapt to their new reality and become comfortable with not working. This implies that there should be at least a limit to how long people earn UBI so they won't get into this comfort zone and weight down the whole country, but then this model could just be called "unemployment insurance". It's very hard to predict how everything will play out, but UBI may become a necessity once we no longer work, not because we don't want to or because we don't have the skills for it, but because we don't have jobs available. This is just how massive of a change the AI will bring to our lives in the near future, it will be a completely different scenario from what we have now and may require a completely different course of action.

It’s funny how when someone says share the wealth and free money, people automatically think “socialísm bad” just look at Venezuela… BUT you never hear people say that about the UAE, where Emiratís don't have to work, and most of them don't. It's believed over half of all citizens of working age are unemployed. They get generous benefits, up to $5,000each a month and free housing. Also, electricity, water and medical is free (for them).

Do you pay for roads monthly or with taxes? Just pay for more services to be public and don't put it on the little guy to foot the bill

@@person52person Personal taxes will go away cause you won't have a job or any meaningful income. Anything public has to be paid by the Government and the taxes on the corporations that run everything which should be 90%+. Rural roads and bridges will surely deteriorate even further because we are gonna commute and travel more by air and thats where the $ will go. Drivers licenses are probably gone in 10 years cause autonomous will take over. Classic cars will have some kind of system so you can drive those on weekends or when they say like watering in desert.

ASI solves all economic problems, to say nothing about all health and other "problems".

They will use force to give the currency 'value'. Unlike using real money like gold that is actually valued by people voluntarily.

As I understand it, his hypothetical system would work like green credits that industry currently uses. Every one would receive so many tokens of compute to which major companies would want to use many of. People then sell X company their compute time for cash, company X will keep on buying until they have completed their projects. Also like the green credits scheme it is wide open to corruption and market manipulation.

@@pjtren1588 sure, but doesn’t this imply a finite value? I mean if I have stock in Tesla, it may go up or down in value but if I sell it, it’s gone and that is all I have, so unless it’s enough to last me a life time, I’m in trouble!

I agree that there might be some period of power abuse, but if you look at a very simple historic fact, human lives improved tremendously through time, and even more so since the faster advance of technology.

How can we accept something that will likely NEVER be implemented, and if some form of it is, it will be a meager amount in exchange for a ball and chain.

People fear change. Even if the want it. They will always look at any kind of change as bad.

Advice where to scavenge for food or where is the nearest bridge to camp under? Is that what you are getting at?

There will still be the need for a circulation of currency …… it is a balance that will have to be maintained for a little while at least. Not in an irresponsible manner like we do today. But a well balanced, fluid, movement of currency. I truly hope that eventually it will not be needed at all.

So, how does that shake out?

And the ONLY thing that will prevent a massive spiral upward will be regulation. This will be different from the great depression because the companies will "know" everyone has the money as opposed to the great depression where there were so many poor that they became homeless... instead we will have millions of people all getting the same UBI. And everyone will increase their costs knowing the money is out there. Of course, it is just an opinion. So, maybe there should be one city... "given" UBI (in the near future) to see what happens before we actually commit to UBI. I am betting inflation will win big especially in the beginning. Not sure about the long long term tho.

Brilliant! You have a bright future in the post-labor economy! Just kidding, appreciating the sarcasm.

Because this time it's not the "government" that will decide, it's ASI.

@@brianmi40 Who programs the AI that manages demand?

@@polygon2744 LOL. No one. THAT is the definition of ASI. When ASI knows more than the entire human race combined, who do YOU THINK could "tell it anything"?

@@brianmi40 No need to laugh here. Do you think the 1% will allow ASI to level the playing field? The people to attain ASI will hobble it to keep those in power today in power tomorrow. These are the greediest people on earth. The idea they would let ASI ensure equal rights to everyone is absurd based on their past behavior. They will use Digital ID, Programmable Money, and ASI to control the masses in ways they could have only dreamed of.

Uh, do you know realize what has happened over the last 40 years in the US in regard to inequality? Apparently not.

The richest of people need to be taxed at a far greater %. Nobody needs to make more than 200k a year.

It would depend on if robots get good enough to displace construction, entertainment, nurse work, retail, fast food, agriculture, trucking...etc, not just AGI itself. Robots running in AGI. if we reach 25-35% unemployment by 2035 we will have UBI, and then in the 2040s when even more jobs are replaced 60-70%(surgeons, soldiers, police) we will have UHI(universal high income).

There is no debt, no financing, no capitalism in an ASI world.

Nothing will cost 0. There has to be a limit, otherwise individuals will want 10 houses, 10 cars, a private jet, a private island.

True there will be deflation but costs won’t be literally zero.

@@markmurex6559 I meant tending to zero. But things will literaly cost zero (robots and solar energy). Of course you will need to limit what you can have, but that the video has responded with programable currency.

@@skywavedxer6212 I meant tending to zero. But at some point things will literaly cost zero. Imagine robots running on solar power, everything can be done for free. Of course you need to limit what each person can have.

Because you need an instrument to bridge the transition period. Whirlpool won't just starting offering free refrigerators to anyone that asks on Day 1.

LOL: "stocks" what a quaint idea in an ASI world where NOTHING can be patented or copyrighted. AI spells the END of capitalism, which depends on Capital, and Labor, BOTH of which are going AWAY.

A printer from a private bank.

Money is an abstract concept that denotes a fraction of the total value within a system. It can be anything, like pieces of paper.

I think the best option is a value added tax (VAT) like in some European countries

Just printing the money would cause massive inflation. You could also charge corporations a tax on each robot they use but as democrats usually do they will make the tax so expensive that companies will either go back to using humans or move out of the country. Either way there will be no money to support UBI.

@@Sixotoo That’s what they already do, they’ve been just printing for decades now. Taxes don’t pay for the gøvernment, taxes are just there to give the illusion they don’t just print it.

We'll end up finally accepting there is NO GOD, is where.

A. the output of robots / AI is what is taxed to provide it. B. it's unavoidable, otherwise the rich suffer also in anarchy.

We aren't even CLOSE to it yet (i.e. years away). But it IS coming.

And then Zero hours. The time span is irrelevant between them as it will undoubtedly be SHORT.

Imagine first what happens without ubi. Ubi is the better alternative.

@@skywavedxer6212 yeah, its better but would very easily fall into a dystopian movie where the government tell you how and where to spend your hard earnt UBI credits. Sam Alman said something interesting, how each person would be given an amount of compute to use as they wish, which includes working on their behalf, which then pays their salary. That could work! Basically anything that rests solely on government is a red flag.

The worry is the transition period will be BRUTAL. Imagine simply the day BEFORE the stock market crashes to NEVER, EVER come back and the day everyone TRULY realizes: THIS is the End of Capitalism. Think about THOSE DAYS.

Because we don't have an automated economy yet. But we will, and soon.

I'll be collecting SS in about two years. I intend to save every dime, against the day it ends. I set that event about 5 years off.

@@francescoambrosino1841 It will happen before then. My estimate is somewhere between 2026-2030. Within this period, autonomous AGI agents will make almost every white collar job obsolete. Unemployment rates will be so high, governments will have no choice but to implement UBI.

You should have heard my brother DECADES AGO: "either the King tosses enough food over the wall to the peasants, or they will COME FOR HIM." It was ever thus.

Do you seriously think companies are going to reduce the costs of their products if the cost of manufacture is lowered? Not a chance. Profits come above all else.

You need to read Moore's Law for Everything. AI will make all goods and services trend towards ZERO for value.
