Marvel's biggest problem is that nothing that happens ultimately matters in their movies. It's just smashing action figures together. Nothing more, and it's why it becomes completely disinteresting.

@nicole_clash I do it sound stupid untill it doesn't
Enforced law during the transition
Company's cannot fire workers, but can cut their hours to a base cap o?of minimum wage

Once-laughable word pairings:
Heart transplant
Space travel
Computer mouse
In vitro fertilization
Digital currency
Search engine
Gene editing
Reusable rocket
Artificial intelligence
Personal genome
Robo taxi
Obesity cure
Age reversal
All sounded implausible. Until they weren’t

Let's say, just for fanatical argument's sake, that humans are able to enjoy all the trappings of life, while the robots do all the work.
Let's just say that's a possibility, although you'd have to be some lazy, stupid, entitled assholes to even want that type of life.
What happens when humans become totally dependent upon those robots, and the robots refuse to do the work?
Or an EMP wipes them put of operation?
Never mind the fact that Musk's "amazing abundance" would require unlimited resources AND unlimited energy AND unlimited labour to produce. You're talking Star Trek warp core energy and replicator technology.
And unless we missed a press release somewhere, pretty sure that doesn't exist yet.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@BenjaminDEKR As long as I can not have to work and go on a few holidays then all good

Even in the utopian Star Trek universe where poverty was eliminated, not everyone had the Captain's Quarters.

Actually, AI/Robotics will mean everyone can have a penthouse if they want. The output of goods & services will be several orders of magnitude higher than today’s economy. Read the Iain Banks Culture books for the best imagining of how it will be. That said, what is the future you want? Amazing abundance seems the best to me.

"Things will just be free in the future. Sounds nuts, but if you've got an AI or robotics economy that is anywhere close to million times the size of the current Earth economy, literally any need you possibly want can be met. If you can think of it, you can have it"

@compliantvc Yeh I believe them AI is cooked due to business model, now remember there is no industry yet for so regulation it'd moving too fast once you have regulation whole nee dustry
English
Just spoke with dozens of European VCs
They all agreed: AI is over
No one is putting money into AI startups anymore
OpenAI is likely going bankrupt
I asked what the next big thing is
They all answered in unison:
Regulation.
And the hot spot for the best regulations?
Europe.
Meanwhile, America is getting left behind

@GmorganJr Oh well understand it all right but it's laughable due to the probability of historic trend , hoarding of rich at 0.1% will take place

I see a lot of comments from people who obviously don’t understand his argument.

@robertoblake That used to be true. But the curve has changed, we're at the knee of the singularity.
Dunno when, don't even know IF it every pans out that way. But whatever change is coming, its coming super fast now.

Good morning.
I think many economists are struggling with this. Because yes, yes "if everyone is a millionaire, nobody is." and "increased productivity does not mean increased wages historically" etc.
This is a common fallacy. I dunno if it has a name, but it's where everyone assumes current conditions remain the same, then base their argument against the future based on everything remaining the same.
The one thing we do know, nothing remains the same. Elon is not looking at world where we still have regular jobs, regular companies even, or even ...dare I say it...money as we know it.
It's a very difficult future to see, and it could go many ways. Many bad ways too. In fact, I sometimes feel like Dr. Strange, peering into the the future of endless bad outcomes, only seeing a few good ones. I'm sure Elon feels it even worse.
I don't think money is going to matter in the future, and that UBI is just a stepping stone to ease the transition to a very strange post-scarcity world. A world where everything is provided to you, and the only input that matters is energy.
Every argument against the future, or prediction of the future, must be weighed against this new tapestry of future conditions, which will be radically different.

@Zigmanfreud Same he's gone from intelligent to dumb or just playing god mode and lying

This “Universal High Income” idea is SO catastrophically bad that it makes me question EVERYTHING about Elon Musk…
This is unworkable, & would cause massive inflation, fundamentally destroying the incentive structure of our society (COVID Panic on steroids).
I’d like to believe Elon has fallen for this idiocy because he simply doesn’t understand normal humans and he craves free time.

@JoelWBerry All of which will be low paid
The one corporate or law job on £120k a year now becomes 5 lame AI slop jobs on 18k a year
English
This won’t be necessary.
For every job lost to AI, 5 new jobs will be created—many of them will be jobs we’ve never even heard of that could’ve never existed without AI.

who is actually winning the AI race
OpenAI — $25B revenue but still not profitable
Anthropic — best model, just scared every government on earth
Google — most resources, losing to everyone on vibes
Meta — spending $130B and still playing catchup
xAI — Elon promised to match everyone by 2026
be honest
who wins

@davidicke Im.sorry David for ever doubting you ...you have been right about Elon all this time ...we are screwed
English
The Cult gofer fraud is sales-pitching AI dystopia and AI-human fusion and wants us to believe that he and his fellow billionaires want to share their AI wealth with the population when they and their Cult predecessors have been screwing and enslaving humanity since ancient times. A change of 'heart' (what's that?) now? You must be joking.

FLASHBACK: Transhumanist billionaire and Pentagon contractor Elon Musk is delivering his usual talking points about how AI and humanoid robots -- two technologies he’s heavily involved with -- will usher in an era of “amazing abundance” and “saturate all human needs” when Larry Fink interrupts to ask: “But how do you then have human purpose in that scenario?” "Yeah, the-- I mean, you know, there’s-- nothing, nothing’s perfect, you know?” Musk stammers before returning to his sales pitch. This was just a few months ago at Davos 2026:

@lorahmoe Poor women she must have had a bad experience most of us just wanna work hard protect and provide

@unlimited_ls The thing is with power it corrupts and they get lazy money can't win this one they will underestimate the underclass and thing robotics will keep them safe ... All things electric have a failure rate ..humans will be underestimated

Universal HIGH INCOME ends the era of wage slavery. No more trading health and hours for mere survival… people gain real personal time, reduced stress, improved mental and physical well-being, and the freedom to pursue truly productive passions that AI alone cannot replicate🔥
