💰 Universal basic income is a controversial topic, but it has the potential to alleviate poverty and provide economic stability for individuals and communities.
💸 The net cost of implementing a universal basic income is much less than the gross cost, as it improves people's health and educational performance, leading to savings for governments.
💰 Universal basic income is affordable and has astronomical benefits, as seen in the pilot program in Ireland.
🤝 Basic income leads to more collaborative and cooperative forms of work, as well as an increase in care work, which is often overlooked in statistics and is a feminist issue.
🗣️ Politicians who claim to support freedom cannot truly do so if their constituents are chronically insecure, impoverished, and in debt.
💰 Governments may have to implement universal basic income to prevent the economy from collapsing due to job loss from automation.

Universal basic income is being trialled globally to alleviate poverty and address the growing support for it among both less educated and more progressive educated groups due to the chronic instability faced by millions worldwide.
Universal basic income, providing unconditional payments to citizens, is being trialled around the world to lift millions out of poverty and is ready for a larger audience.
The book "The Precarious" discusses the concept of the dangerous class, which refers to millions of people worldwide facing chronic instability in their lives due to unstable labor, low incomes, and chronic debt.
People facing extreme precariousness are losing their rights and feeling like supplicants, leading to anger and a growing support for basic income among both less educated and more progressive educated groups.

Receiving basic income in Ireland has been transformative for an artist's practice and overall well-being, allowing them to focus on their art without the need for part-time work.
Having a universal basic income allows individuals to dedicate more time to creative pursuits and not just focus on surviving in a capitalist economy, enriching their lives and allowing them to be more than just cogs in a profit-driven machine.
The clip shows that the people in the Kenyan village attribute their improved lives to God, but it is actually a result of economic policy.
The implementation of universal basic income can uplift people from extreme poverty by providing them with a consistent monthly income, which can be easily funded by redirecting subsidies and tax breaks that mainly benefit the rich.
Advocates argue that implementing a universal basic income, along with eco-fiscal policies, can reduce inequality, improve health and education, and cut down on fossil fuels, while opponents believe it is a sad reality without improvements in healthcare and education.
Advocating for eco-fiscal policies, including a carbon levy, to reduce inequality and cut down on fossil fuels, as pilots have shown that a universal basic income improves people's health and educational performance, reducing the cost of public services.
The idea of whether basic income works or not is irrelevant because it stems from discriminatory thinking, and unless there are improvements in healthcare, education, and other amenities, the discussion of supporting people's basic existence with a certain level of income becomes a sad reality.
Universal basic income experiments worldwide have shown significant benefits, including improvements in well-being, nutrition, health, and work, debunking the claim that it reduces work and instead increasing productivity, collaboration, and care for loved ones.
Universal basic income experiments have been conducted worldwide, and although the pilot in Ireland is small in scale, the benefits have been significant and are measured through surveys.
They consider factors such as time spent on work and research, sleep, and caregiving responsibilities when determining the well-being of recipients of the basic income trial in Ireland, which was advocated for by the national campaign for the Arts.
Over 150 pilots and experiments have shown evidence of the effectiveness of universal basic income, with 50 mayors in the United States signed up for basic income experiments.
Basic income pilot in India showed improvements in nutrition, health, and work, debunking the claim that it reduces work; instead, it increases productivity, collaboration, and care for loved ones.
Universal basic income experiments have shown that even people with good jobs are struggling, challenging the perception that blaming the poor is inherent in capitalism, but the implementation has unintended consequences and is not sustainable, leading to the suggestion to focus on implementing programs instead.
Universal basic income was implemented as an experiment in Stockton, California, revealing that even people with good jobs are struggling.
People from various backgrounds, including small business owners, teachers, and union members, are struggling financially and believe that universal basic income provides them with some peace of mind and temporary financial support, challenging the perception that blaming the poor is inherent in capitalism.
The implementation of universal basic income experiments has unintended consequences and is not sustainable in Kenya due to the reliance on donor funding and the need for government involvement, leading to the suggestion that it is time to stop experimenting and instead focus on implementing programs.
Universal basic income is affordable and ethically justified as a common dividend on collective wealth, providing basic security for individuals to function as citizens and be free from chronic insecurity and poverty.
We can afford universal basic income because governments have shown they can provide financial support during the pandemic, and it is ethically justified as a common dividend on collective wealth and a compensation for those with unequal talents.
Basic security is essential for individuals to function as citizens and be free, as chronic insecurity and poverty hinder freedom and mental well-being.
Access to material resources is important for social connections and decision-making, and with automation replacing over half of current jobs by 2055, universal basic income may be necessary to cover basic living needs, although determining who receives money through AI is a challenge.
Access to material resources is necessary for friendship and decision-making, and a video showcasing an advanced apple harvester that can pick 30 apples in one minute is discussed.
By 2055, over half of all current jobs will be replaced by automation, leading to widespread unemployment and the need for universal basic income to cover basic living needs, although using AI to determine who receives money is a problematic issue.
Universal basic income provides people with the money they need to live on, reducing the likelihood of exploitation and empowering individuals.
The fact that David got choked up when he was talking about how everyone deserves to feel good is evidence that he is truly a good man. You probably see less than .1% of people that would share this sentiment. The world needs more people that share this sentiment.

I got to push back a little bit on the emotional intelligence issue because GPT 3 seems to display a significant level of emotional intelligence already, not only presenting a clear understanding of how emotions were but also giving useful output in terms of emotional situations people sometimes get into. There is an example dr. Alan Thompson did where he was talking to instruct to GPT and he was telling a story about how his friend wanted him to come over and pay for a meal to eat and it was funny that GPT was able to understand the Dynamics why that would be an unreasonable proposition.

Incredible video and great work. Could pick a few holes in it, (ie. regarding creation of content: people will always seek out honesty, humanness and relate-ability, even subconsciously; which AI can possibly mimic but not actually convey) but all in all, this message deserves more listeners. That will come tho, when mainstream awareness kicks in. PS - Note the choking up moment as a good example (sorry to diminish this moment) AI can possibly never strike a human cord like this because we can relate to its authenticity, differently, through empathy or compassion.

Hello David, I'd be interested in seeing what areas will be impacted in the near to immediate future. In the weeks after ChatGPT made waves, there were videos made describing going to websites that doled out copywriting jobs, and then also pointed to websites such as Chat ai that would write the copy for those freelance copywriting jobs. I would imagine that the payout for those copywriting jobs would be dropping overnight. What jobs will be the first to be hit in the coming months, and then in the next year to two years? And what new categories of jobs (if one is to dream) might be springing up. And could this content be aimed at people who are either looking for work, or are thinking about changing career directions to something with more security.

Have you heard about Self-Determination Theory (SDT)? It describes self-determination, social acceptance and competence as three basic human needs, that also balance out nicely our goal seeking behavior between doing what we like, doing what others like and being good at what we do. Might also work for AI.

All of this makes total sense and I fully agree with everything you've said. Unfortunately, the egg-heads that govern us have zero understanding of these issues and are caught in a tight net of individualism, tribalism and corruption (not to mention religion), so I don't expect much from them. I mean, the world WITHOUT ai was already a hot mess that didn't work for a large percentage of the population.

Not what I expected based on the video title. Enjoyed it. Looks like you have a new calling. Good luck as a content creator. I wonder though if the content creator career is not a fad. Maybe combining it with something traditional will be more stable. Guest speaker, book author, coach or teacher, in person if possible comes to mind. Anyway, I liked the Be Kind signoff.

Really good background reading for this is “Poverty, by America” by Matthew Desmond. A big takeaway is that the poor vastly underutilize government handouts, whereas the middle class gets more in tax breaks than they pay in taxes, and never miss a chance to take advantage of a government handout. There’s a lot of propaganda at work that keeps us distracted by pitting us against each other.

Incredible video my friend, I'm starting an YouTube channel in Brazil, the focus isn't about just AI, but frequently I will talk about it. Your video gave me chills, I started studying AI and realizing these problems we are having and will have, the thing that most hit me was about the work force that can be automated, I had my own statistics about, and it was below 50% (between 40% to 50%) this is really alarming, if we don't have jobs, how money will circulate in the economy? How can you buy something if you don't have enough even to eat? How companies will profit if there's less and less money circulating? Capitalism is going to shoot his own foot with AI, not that I'm a "primitivist" or something like that , AI is the future, but this kind of step for humanity is going to be problematic if we don't take care. Thanks for the video, for now on I will be watching your content.

35:00 I agree with your perspective on earning just enough for a comfortable lifestyle and having a safety net for unexpected expenses. My wife and I have also adopted this mindset. However, currently, I am deviating from this principle as I am worried about the future, as I believe advanced technology like ChatGPT is already able to perform my job better than I can. Therefore, I am currently striving to earn as much money as possible in an effort to prepare for the future.

I say this jokingly, but it fits with what you mentioned about Nihilism. Remember the German Nihilists in the film The Big Lebowski? They claimed to believe in nothing, to care about nothing, but the single thing that motivates all their actions throughout the movie is a criminal get-rich-quick scheme that involves mutilating one of the conspirators. As you suggested, it seems that a childish self-indulgence can sit at the core of Nihilism, one that's often soothed by the instant gratification money can bring.

Because after 2000, all the profit from the workers' productivity—wait for it—went to the CEOs and to the stock market, not to the workers via larger salaries. During the pandemic, folks were able to really see and digest this (and many other things, George Floyd, Metoo, WHF vs RTO, etc.), and many have left the workforce.

Love the postnihilism, but I think I’m a postnihilistic cynic. Everyone is valuable, but in the aggregate we seem to have pulled off the amazing trick of being less than the sum of our parts. This is of course because the exploiters have been allowed to hit way above their weight. But you do give me hope. I too, especially as I get older, can get choked up over demonstrations of a potentially kinder and gentler world. It must mean something that doing a good deed makes us feel so good. This must be an indicator of evolutionary fitness value, which we ignore at our peril. Wonderful video David!

Hey Dave, thanks for making the video. Do you know if we are able to take the fine-tuned model we create and embed it on the frontend of a site, to make a niche-specific name generator, for example, for users to use - or can that only be done with an OpenAI standard model, such as Davinci-003? (I remember you mentioned in one of your vids that individual models are not able to be shared - is my example what was meant by that?)

As usual, fantastic content. You are one smart MF. The broad breadth of your knowledge base, the brevity of your idea articulation and the clarity of your premises and conclusions should be considered a gold standard in presentation. You also have good speaking cadence. 2 problems however. One, I have a bone to pick with your philosophy professor. Nietzche got Nihilism from Schopenhauer not the Russians lol. I don't think he ever read a single Russian writer in his entire life. Secondly, the old drivel about working during the pandemic for bourgeoisie greed was nonsense then and its nonsense now. 2 million deaths with the majority having significant comorbidities is not a lot in a nation of 333,000,000 people. I know people think you're a sociopath if you point that out but it's objective reality, not feelings. That many people die every few years from heart disease and car accidents and nobody printed more money than we did in both world wars combined adjusted for inflation for that. The people who wined like babies and wanted to stay home were middle class professionals who were very unlikely to die if they contracted Covid. In fact, thanks to John Hopkins University meta data we now know that staying did essentially nothing in the grand scheme of things as the vast majority of covid cases were transmitted by people to other people who lived in the same house regardless of the level of lock downs in each state. So now we have the worst inflation crisis our nation has ever seen and all that loneliness and depression you correctly pointed out...is now significantly worse than it was in 2019.... Not because of capitalism but because of a shutdown that was championed by people on the left and far left, often in the name of "fuck capitalism". How ironic...

I don’t necessarily agree with absolutely everything you say, but I like your videos and they make me think. Thank you for making them. As an example, I’m not convinced that your principles for AI alignment are necessarily the best or perfect; they’re not a bad start but they seem imperfect to me. For example, specifying what you mean more accurately. So when you say increase prosperity, perhaps you should instead say, “increase both collective and individual prosperity for all people”. The reason to include individual is so that we don’t take actions that greatly sacrifice some individual to make everyone else a tiny bit more prosperous. Additionally, something should be said about preserving the things that humans value; so don’t increase prosperity at the cost of completely destroying the environment for example. Also something about achieving a balance between the disparate goals so that no single goal comes to dominate the others. Also maybe a “interpret these commands as we would want you to interpret them”. You don’t want a situation where the ASI decides that it gets the most reward by maximizing happiness while sacrificing everything else and so decides to destructively scan and upload all of our brains and then perform the virtual equivalent of placing electrodes into the pleasure centers of all of our brain. As an aside, is it just me or is there a lot of “popping” in the audio of this particular video? I don’t know if it’s just my phone or whatever or if it’s the video itself. I don’t remember the other videos of yours having that issue.

Great video. As for your "we all deserve to feel good" idea, something to consider is that no successful wisdom tradition that has stood the test of time(religions, stoicism) has recommended us to chase feeling good, with the most trivial explanation for that rationale being how easy it is to spiral into hedonism. In other words, we need to be aware of how counterintuitive the enterprise of feeling good really is and approach it with deep humility and look for lessons all throughout history as we move forward.

"We" are not the problem. "We" are not going to change society by admitting that "we" need to think positive and see the value in eachother. The rules of the game are set by the richest most powerful people, and the game that "we" are forced to play is working to ensure that they get the most and "we" get the least. There is no point discussing a change in cultural perspectives without discussing how to limit the wealth and power of those that are in control so that "we" have a chance at changing the game. Unfortunately, I believe that AI is going to change society far faster than "we" can break the stranglehold that the powerful few has on rigging the game, which just means that AI will be put to work feeding more power and wealth to those in control. If you want AI to help the people, then we need to focus at least some effort on creating a large scale comprehensive predictive model of society, so that we can test change scenarios and predict how society will evolve. Thinking about changing tax rates or introducing UBI ? - We need to be able to model how that will play out with enough fidelity that we can provide a roadmap for change that can be used to try to counter the deafening chorus of angry voices that will shout down even the slightest suggestion of changing the rules to help the people.

I think this technological revolution is producing abundance, but it is all going to the rich. I.e. corporations all reporting record profits, vastly overpaid CEOs, the rich reporting huge increase in net worth, while workers haven’t really seen an inflation-adjusted increase in their income in decades. As usual, this is an issue of distribution of power, privilege and wealth. Perhaps instead of growth, we can focus on increase in quality and efficiency in our economy, and increasing equality in our society. If all else fails, eat the rich… they’re just chock full of vitamins. Ah, I think David is now going in this direction, at about 32:00. Good man!

I appreciate your videos and this analysis, but I think in the last slides you gave in to the temptation of providing an "easy explanation" with redistribution, which in my opinion doesn't explain why we all have this feeling that the great technological progress hasn't brought the era of abundance we would expect. I will try to provide another explanation: the exceptional growth of well-being has been captured mostly by a single progress: having a huge class of people, the elderly, who live without working (I want to clarify that in no way do I want to suggest that the elderly are "useless" or "harmful"). If in the charts you introduce the proportion of people who have stopped working, you can see that the hours of work per capita have actually dropped a lot, simply this happens in an asynchronous way, concentrating all the work before and zeroing it after. Technological progress has almost always turned into economic goods or services that are free for everyone, the reason why having Google and Facebook doesn't make us live so well is not because the profits of Google and Facebook are not distributed. The solution to this is not more redistribution (in Europe the tax is at 50% but the situation is not better), but more technological progress.

I agree with you but it won't work in the current environment. Why ? It require people who care about society, democracy, family and human values. All those "values" are currently under attack by neo-feudalists who meet each year in Davos or in one of those WEF conferences, so called 1% crowd. They want companies to replace governments and cut freedoms we enjoy only so they can survive and thrive like some giant parasites. If you look at society right now you will observe highest ever political polarization, not just in US but in the whole world. This is the result of decades of gov. corruption, crony capitalism (I am libertarian so don't call me socialist or whatever) and completely broken education system which is now overrun by ultra radical Marxists (just go to any university and see what rubbish they teach). There is no way out of it. We just need to accept what we have and try to sail through it while trying to self-improve. Is there any other option ? I think not. By the way, I am also part of Great Resignation. Well not fully, but I switched to part-time after realizing my free time is the most precious thing I have.

The truth of Nihilism is that everything is equally important on a cosmic scale, but that should have no bearing on how you value things for yourself.

The A.I revolution has the potential to significantly increase the abundance of resources and labor in the economy, as machines and A.I take on a greater role in production, increasing economic output/GDP by orders of magnitude. However, this also means that human labor may become less necessary, which is why the idea of Universal Basic Income (UBI) is important. With A.I and machines doing much of the work, economic growth may not be as dependent on population growth. If this works out, Humans may be in for a real treat where the economy can function purely off of A.I economic output and we can live in a world where we can have anything and do anything we want without the need to work if we so choose. And I don't think it's too far off!

I think any type or moral or philosophical shift will not occur in the US until a traumatizing event happens, such as 15-25% unemployment. That’s enough where the average person is effected or multiple people someone is close to. Imagine is half of the middle class was put out of work, they would go from happy capitalists to socialists in a very short period of time IF the situation was hopeless. Everyone has a breaking point and nothing will really change until the average person meets that breaking point and cannot make ends meet. Do you think that if this were to happen that the collective “good” in us would prevail? We’re heading into some uncertain times.
