Rich, coming from someone responsible for it.
It's an "Einstein and the nuclear bomb" situation.

Yeah, well Google Execs also assured me that email would be replaced by Google Wave which has very good integration with the future of social media: Google Plus.
And as soon as it did they would have just killed it and split every single feature into different apps and then kill those too.

I found Google wave to be very cool; and given the workflow now, with chats and email messages mixing and docs flying around, I see where they predicted we were going: all day at work.
They didn't give it time.
Yeah, I thought it was a neat collaboration tool. I don't think it would replace e-mail (way too complicated for grandma), but it was fun to use while it lasted

Somehow, AI is going to be responsible for both dystopia and utopia. But the good news is we have 18 months to get ready!
It will be a cakewalk compared to the thousands of years of climate dystopia.

So the US will enter not the rest of the world Jesus the arrogance when us media talks like every country = US.
Lol, you think the rest of the world won't be fucked as well?

It won't unless their laws are made in the imperialist nation which isn't.

If we had a proper social safety net for all the displaced people, I'd be more open to it. But as things are now with rampant greed and a government for the corporations, fuck AI.
I can't shake the feeling that all this talk of UBI and other social safety nets that are meant to support the majority of the populace after some notional post-work future society ignore a really big elephant in the room:
If most people are solely reliant on the good grace of a single entity, the government, for their whole means of survival, their entire existence is at the pleasure of that government. The populace becomes completely beholden to them, not the other way around.
The whole idea feels suspiciously like a trap set by bad actors with a long-term plan to steal the government from the governed.

I could see your argument if UBI was a recent concept (made by bad actors aimed at fixing today's problem in order to steal the government from the governed tomorrow), but the concept has been around for a while: wiki article.

Its not so much of an argument as a concern. It puts an extreme amount of the country's economic activity directly in the hands of the government. We see globally that governments can quickly change their motivations.
The same rope that can be used to help people out of a hole can be used to tie them up.

Definitely a fair and valid concern, then; I suppose that will always be an inherent risk.
