It’s not AI anymore, it’s ‘super intelligence’ (according to the White House) | Equity Podcast
This week, the White House got nearly every major tech CEO in one room — Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei among them — to sign an AI safety pledge that President Donald Trump called “morally binding.” Trump also signed an executive order officially rebranding AI as “super intelligence,” and meanwhile, Meta and OpenAI…

@monopolizedopamine meaning the people who expect everything to be handed to them without actually doing anything because they are lazy and entitled. That’s lack of character.

If you do not have to work to remain below poverty line companies would need to offer better conditions in order to retain their workers.

Just the title deserves a thumbs up ……Instead of putting so much profit into paying share holders, pay workers more, that gives the middle class more disposable income to spend on goods and services and the stimulation will bring along the wages for lower income jobs. Government gets more taxes, Americans could afford domestic made goods which would boost domestic industry and production and the disseminations of cash in circulation makes for a more stable economy less tied to the vagaries’ of the stock market cycles. Is that too simple to work, It means a few people being less greedy for the good of the whole, they’ll still be richer than they need to be and we get to enjoy a better quality of life. Conscientious capitalism….

Basic income guarantee doesn’t help when corporations own all the assets, and they can just raise rent, insurance costs, food costs, gas prices, etc etc. and recoup any lost money.
Also, the government is broke, because the wealthy have been siphoning wealth off it for decades. So who’s gonna pay for UBI?

This becomes even more important once AI and Robots fully kick in. Robots are already replacing people everywhere. Walk into some of the modernized Warehouses today and you see Auto Lift Trucks, Robots stacking boxes and picking and sorting.
It is being sold as efficiency gains and eliminating lifting and repetitive tasks, but it does reduce the needed workforce.
The beginning of another industrial revolution . Musk some years back talked about a guaranteed basic income. Thats before he turned.
