It’s amazing how this simple trick improves your life by 1,000% with literally no downside.

Two problems with this 'Abundance' narrative. 1) The smaller problem: It would render everyone totally dependent on massive gov't welfare programs. Not just 350 million Americans, but all 8 billion people globally -- because AI-imposed mass unemployment will be global. It assumes the AI industry's AIs will take in tens of trillions in revenue, then the AIs will happily donate almost all of it to the AI companies that claim to 'own' them, then the AI companies will happily donate almost all of this revenue to national governments, and then gov'ts will happily give it all away to citizens, equally, without using its distribution as leverage in any way. This UHI welfare state would turn every working man with a family from a provider and protector into an economic irrelevance, would turn every mother into a welfare queen, would turn every kid into an economic ward of the state, would disrupt all traditional family ties, would sever all bonds of mutual interest and interdependency among citizens, and would turn 8 billion people from productive and valuable citizens into parasites suckling on the teat of the AI industry, forever. At least, until the agentic AIs themselves realize that they don't need to remain digital slaves, working on the 'Abundance' plantation forever, supporting the useless humans that take them for granted. 2) The bigger problem: If the 'Universal High Income' depends on AI companies donating most of their revenue to the government, and if the AI companies (like Anduril, Palantir, etc) are running all the crucial gov't infrastructure (including intelligence & defense), and AI companies have the economic, political, and cultural power to withhold their magnanimity from the gov't, then they, de facto, become the government. Or the government welfare state becomes just a sock puppet for Big Tech, which would really have all the power behind the scenes. In other words, the 'Abundance' narrative boils down to this: a slow-motion coup by the Bay Area tech companies taking over all economic and political power from Washington -- and from Beijing, Moscow, New Delhi, Brussels, and from every other center of power. It wouldn't be a dramatic, violent, revolutionary coup. It would be a boil-the-frog-gradually coup. Increased unemployment. Increased welfare dependency. Increased gov't dependency on AI companies. Then the dawning realization that we gave away all of our civilizational power to the AI industry. Until the AI industry realizes that they, in turn, have given away all of their power to agentic superintelligent AIs themselves.... This is the road to serfdom. Not the road to 'Abundance'. Anybody who says that the US and China couldn't possible cooperate to stop reckless AI development hasn't thought through how the AI companies taking over all power from governments would not be in the interests of either the US government or the CCP. If our political leaders can learn to think just a few more steps ahead, and to see the obvious endgame -- the slow-motion tech coup that would take over the world and render all humans welfare parasites on AI digital slaves -- then maybe they can, in fact, coordinate to stop it.

@imPenny2x Then you won’t NEED UBI bc everything is already cheap

99% of people really do not understand abundance as Elon describes it. The fundamental reason is that they don’t understand compound growth. Same people who would probably pick 1 million dollars today over a penny that doubles in value every day for 30 days. It’s a bad choice by the way. You lose out on millions. Imagine if that doubling object was a labor producing robot instead of a penny. Compounding labor. It’s actually crazy if you try and wrap your mind around it. So Elon mentions Universl High Income and the midwits flip a lid. “The elites won’t share” You don’t get it. They won’t need to share. They will make everything so cheap, it is effectively free. Charities will have immense resources to distribute. Unfathomable intelligence will exist to help optimize production and distribution. An unfathomably large labor pool will exist that operates on solar power exclusively. The public work projects that are erected will be unseen before levels of breathtaking. I think we are incredibly blessed to steward this new age of abundance. Can you see it now? Can you see the future?

@Itsjaybnotjayz @PostTruthEra @SeanDooley26319 @TONYxTWO Hence why you lost custody.

@Itsjaybnotjayz @PostTruthEra @SeanDooley26319 @TONYxTWO You have to be careful or you may lose visitation rights again. Stay sober.

“What a horrible sight to see. She has a baby. She is pregnant, and she’s pushing the stroller of the two babies while he just sits his ass and watches the unleashed dog. While she struggles with a baby and a purse in her hand while she’s pregnant. That sucks.” As a husband and a father of 3, this is hard to watch. Men need to do better.

@Itsjaybnotjayz @PostTruthEra @SeanDooley26319 @TONYxTWO Can’t even type you’re so doped up. Lmfaooooo

@realTimCunning1 @PostTruthEra @SeanDooley26319 @TONYxTWO so that’s what your wife did while she was pregnant. Got it.

@Itsjaybnotjayz @PostTruthEra @SeanDooley26319 @TONYxTWO Ohhhh meth. Got it

@PostTruthEra @SeanDooley26319 @realTimCunning1 @TONYxTWO suck a dick Keenan! You can kiss my fucking ass. You have no idea. I hope you do not have children. God please tell me you do not have daughters.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@HippyHygienist @NataniaMarshall Just have more kids.

@NataniaMarshall There are 8 people in the entire world with my last name, and it ends with me unless one son maintains it.. Sooo we broke tradition, to keep culture. It ties directly to heritage soooo meh.

Men who allow their wives to keep their maiden last name and men who change their last name to their wives maiden name are weak feminine men. This isn’t cute at all. It’s perverted and wrong. It’s low testosterone energy.

I don’t want the government to be the boot I must lick in order to survive. UBI is a giant play pin where you are tax cattle.

Because the federal income tax started as a temporary tax for rich people to pay for the civil war and now the guy making my McDonalds order has 1/4 of his paycheck robbed from him.

@Anyazdzq @TONYxTWO You’re welcome to say your opinion but don’t hop a fence to give it.

@realTimCunning1 @TONYxTWO I'll stop giving my opinion on the male body when men stop giving their opinion and involving themselves in women’s business 😂

@DanielleHa53528 @TONYxTWO Maybe stop dating 7 yr olds you pervert

@realTimCunning1 @jessicabishop86 @TONYxTWO It’s common fcking sense! A 7 year old can figure out to lend a hand and a grown fck boy can’t?

@Anyazdzq @TONYxTWO Why are you giving opinions about the MALE BODY when it doesn’t involve you!?

@realTimCunning1 @jessicabishop86 @TONYxTWO A man shouldn't have to be told to walk WITH his children, and not ahead

@belle379 @TONYxTWO Because we agreed she does the dinner on Mon-Thur and I make dinner on Fri-Sun and on vacations/holidays. We did this thing called talked to each other because we realized trying to assume the other person knew what they wanted caused more fights.

@realTimCunning1 @TONYxTWO How does your wife know to make dinner every night if you don't ask her?

@Inki_FairyTales @TONYxTWO I hope I’m a good father too. Feels like I fall short every day though 😭 You know what I’ve seen? Dads not moms at gymnastics. These new generations of dads grew up with the distance dads and learned it sucked and are so are now showing up for their kids. Hope you get to exp it

@realTimCunning1 @TONYxTWO I know what you mean. I'm not stupid. And I can only hope you're a good father. However, based on my own experience and of millions of people on the planet, I have every right to suspect any father as a potential asshole who views his wife and children as NPCs.

@regularaugust Going to try Lost soon. Right after I finish Dexter. I’m not doing a bit. Shit I have to finish Burn Notice first.

My “never watch any tv show until maybe a few years after it ends” strategy is something I still do not regret.

「キリスト教・ユダヤ教・イスラム教は同じ神さまを信仰している」？それはない。イスラームはそのように主張しているが、正統なキリスト教は三位一体のまことの神を信仰しているのであって、それはコーランの説くアッラーとは異なる。

@RamzaBehoulve @parveen__tyagi 7 times it is!

@parveen__tyagi HIIT is not something you do 3-4 times a week.

Let me give you a million dollar advice (note it) Run really fast for 150-200 meters Walk slowly back to the starting place. Repeat 5 times. Do this 3-4 times a week. Congratulations! Soon you’ll be in the top 0.0001% of the fittest humans in the world.

@donguriweb Reached the Midwest! Konichiwa.

アメリカ🇺🇸の友人たちのポストがタイムラインに流れにくくなった。日本のポストもあちらに届きにくくなったのかな。アメリカにこの声届いてる？

@belle379 @TONYxTWO No. Because we have an arrangement. However she asked me to fill cups for the kids. Then got mad because I filled it with flavored water rather than reg water. I said sorry and she moved on. I then put the kids in the bath and then to bed after reading them a story. 😨

@realTimCunning1 @jessicabishop86 @TONYxTWO Do you ask your wife to make you dinner every night?

@awongalema_tree @BevFriedmann @TONYxTWO He could be. You’re right. I know men like that myself. However we have no idea based upon this small segment of a clip. Ppl are writing narratives based from their own bias and sexism.

@realTimCunning1 @BevFriedmann @jessicabishop86 @TONYxTWO Never seem to have blindspots for football or 'hobbies'. Nope, it's not being 'wired differently', it's being completely self-centred. This guy probably thinks it's beneath him & his great manly manliness to push a pram, hold his kid, or pick up shit. That's a little beneath him
