Universal basic income is really just a negative tax.
Even Milton Friedman was a big supporter of it.
I would think you would be too.

If automation is "really gonna take over" than money wouldn't be long for this world either...
Whats da point of having money..what are u gonna spend it on...a robot to pay another robot that pays another robot?
I could see everything being free and then humans being charged to exist, like some distopian total recall type deal.

Da last thing i want is some heartless skynet robot determining that my existence is obsolete based on some kinds of algorithm it created itself, and just shutoff my oxygen or something...
Ya bugging on that.
OP mentioned singularity (when robots become self aware) and this video didn't even mention it...
By da time that happens we might already be doomed into slavery by our robotic overlords.

Nah I'm just playin **** that I love technology but it's getting too real. I was thinking the other day what if there are already self aware computer systems out there that we're oblivious to.
Humans haven't been able to create fully aware AI (there are robots programmed to be aware in specific situations only) so we wouldn't even really know if it's hiding in plain sight, or if the computers are "waking up" other systems via internet.
Bout to watch T2

Your smart phone/computer knows more about you than anyone.

We can hardly simulate the conscious level of an ant. Most of the "AI" you've seen have been preprogrammed robotics with algorithms meant to handle the task they were giving specifically. Nothing more, nothing less.
We are so far away from self-aware machines you might as well not give it a second thought.

Probably. At our level of consciousness tho? Not close imo.
We will destroy ourselves before that happens.

Yes. I think we might live to see it happen. A lot can happen in the next 50+ years.

I work in IT and a good amount of my projects involve automation and customer-self-service in order to decreases costs by hiring less low-skilled workers. Eventually machines will replace most low-skilled jobs and with the hike in minimum wage, it will only happen sooner.
The site below will tell you how likely your job will be replaced by AI:

Foxconn axes 60,000 jobs in one Chinese factory as robots take over

Minimum wage hike has nothing to do with it.

According to that guide, my job/profession has just a 3.2% chance of automation.
I guess I'm kinda winning? Lol

...so we could see something like a cyber steph curry or android anthony davis in the L?
Athletes and Sports Competitors have a
28.3%
chance of being automated.
How do we know this? Some aspects of a job are easier to automate than others. It all depends on the tasks. Look at the
orange bars to see how Athletes and Sports Competitors compare with other professions...
