@Briannuesi20X @Zigmanfreud UHI is unavoidable when full automation is here. More details on how I see it in the quoted post.

Yeah, ironically, capitalism will bring us closer to socialism once every basic need is automated, because there is no other option than to give people money for free at that point. We still should implement capitalism in some way, or the society will degrade under the pressure of bad incentives, promoting people with destructive tendencies - we need a new framework. What is the main benefit of capitalism? - incentive structure that gives more control to more effective people who create value for others - it promotes those who make better decisions to the top... so whatever system we implement to replace the current system, needs to satisfy this function. I think that stock market will be one of the central points where capitalism will survive and will serve as a replacement. We will move from society of workers to society of owners, and we will be judged by our ability to determine which company (their strategy, etc.) is the best. People with the best judgement on what's the most effective approach will be rewarded - given more control. Similarly to above, I was thinking about it in a context of "personal tokens". At the moment, there are many shit-coins on the blockchain that gain traction due to personalities on the internet promoting it and later rug-pulling their audience. At the moment, this seems mostly harmful... but what if we were to create a structure around this tech, that promotes positive behavior? What if everyone had their own "personal token" that other people can buy? ... We can think of it as the "person" becoming like a "stock", where if we think that someone is a valuable person, we can invest in them, and if our judgement is correct, then more people in the future will end up buying that token, giving us profit, while the owner of the token can issue new tokens and generate capital for whatever they're working on. Basically, everyone becomes a company... it could even replace political systems, since open markets are much better at judging reality and are less prone to manipulation, because every "vote" is covered with real money (so generally, people at least attempt to override their harmful biases, because being wrong has a real cost).

Ziegler just called Elon’s UHI idea “catastrophically bad”… while quoting the exact mechanism Elon explained: AI/robotics producing far more goods & services than the money supply grows.
That’s not inflation. That’s deflationary abundance.
You’re diagnosing the 2030s with 1980s economics.
The real catastrophe isn’t “destroyed incentives” — it’s millions of able humans left economically useless while machines create everything. UHI isn’t welfare; it’s the dividend check from the robot economy we all own.
Elon didn’t “fall” for anything. He’s the guy building the machines.
You’re the guy still yelling “but who will pick the cotton?” in 1860.
What’s YOUR plan when 70% of current jobs evaporate in 5–7 years? Serious answers only 👇
John Ziegler@Zigmanfreud
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.

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.

.@mlevchin spent “zero minutes” introspecting on his failed companies:
"I kept going because I realized I liked the journey as much, if not more than the destination."
"The day my co-founders and I declared our first company dead, I found myself thinking, 'What will be the next one?'"
"I took exactly zero hours or minutes contemplating, 'Is this the right thing for me to do?'"

People are always so shocked to find out that winners think this way. They can’t fathom that anyone would refuse cope and self-defeat as guiding principles. Doom and gloom is all they know. All your plans will succeed as long as you don’t wake up a loser!

Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong.
Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names".
For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy.
In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system".
But they're not. They can't be the justice system.
The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve.
Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you?
No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system.
The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe.
If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse.
In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite.
Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat.
We all understand this.
We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act.
Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to.
We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again.
And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again.
The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you.
Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute.
It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.

Tesla's Robotaxi is preparing to reach ~50% of US Population
Tesla is hiring for the role of Data Collection Supervisor, Self-Driving (and previously for roles called AI Safety Operator) in many cities across the country.
These cities cover about 50% of the US population (depending on whether you look at MSAs or CSAs).
This table also shows the new cities (in green) where they've begun hiring.
This helps to explain where all the Cybercab engineering test vehicles that @JoeTegtmeyer is seeing every day are going!
Note: MSA ("Metropolitan Statistical Area") is a city's footprint while CSA ("Combined Statistical Area") reflects a network of metros acting as one regional economic system.

🇿🇦 A senior South African politician just got caught lying about Starlink to protect mobile network operators.
Parliamentary communications chair Khusela Diko claimed Starlink "doesn't move the needle" on school connectivity.
Here's what she left out: 16,000 schools still have no internet after 12 years, a missed deadline, and mobile operators billions over budget.
Starlink offered to connect 5,000 schools for free and was turned away.
A rural mobile tower costs around $61,000 and can serve just a single school.
The numbers don't lie. The politician did.

Yeap, some people will look at Dwarkesh as someone who pointlessly kept repeating the same dumb question to Jensen, but I think that the confrontation which came out of it was useful, because it made Jensen mention a lot of relevant details regarding the problem.
I agree with Jensen in the end, but Dwarkesh is cool too. I especially liked his interview with Elon, many good questions and a lot of useful information.

I started as one of @elonmusk loudest mockers. I saw a con man running a circus, hyping vaporware to pump the stock. Zero respect.
Then came that night in late 2022—the night everything shattered.
FSD v11 videos and the AI Day replay. At first, amusement. Then disbelief. Then a cold wave as I watched unedited drives navigating chaos that my life's work—classical perception stacks—would hopelessly fail on. Corner cases handled effortlessly. Generalization I thought impossible.
I was scrolling casually, clicked on @WholeMars FSD v11 videos and the AI Day replay. At first, amusement. Then disbelief. Then a cold wave as I watched unedited drives navigating chaos that my life's work—classical perception stacks—would hopelessly fail on. Corner cases handled effortlessly. Generalization I thought impossible.
The facts hit me like a freight train. For the first time in my career, I realized how profoundly, catastrophically wrong I'd been. All my expertise, all my certainty... dust. This "clown," this hype man I'd dismissed for years, wasn't bluffing. He was building the future while I clung to the past.
I couldn't sleep. Heart pounding, staring at the ceiling next to my sleeping wife, panic rising. A tsunami was coming—real, unstoppable—and it would wipe out everything: my job, my industry, the livelihood feeding my family. I was powerless. No defense. No counter. Just the raw terror of obsolescence staring back. What do you do when your entire worldview collapses overnight?
Next morning, one desperate idea: If you can't beat them, join them.
I'd never touched the markets. Opened a brokerage account, threw in a hedge—enough to maybe survive the coming layoffs.
But FSD accelerated—v12, v13, Cortex online. The hedge became conviction. My front-row view gave me certainty no one else had. I went all-in: every spare euro into $TSLA shares and calls. Today? Paycheck to paycheck—just groceries. The rest? Tesla.
Conviction stronger than ever.
I was wrong. Elon was right.
I stand defeated... and grateful.
The impossible just became late. Robotaxi scaling is here. Legacy gets its Blackberry moment.

• Reduced exposure to opportunistic litigation
• Higher thresholds for derivative suits (ownership + holding period)
• No attorney fees for disclosure-only settlements
• Stronger board protections (business judgment rule codified)
• Greater legal predictability vs. Delaware discretion
• Limits on books & records abuse
• Alignment with Texas operations (no meaningful Delaware ties)

EVERYONE IS ELEVATED
I understand this to a point, things that are scarce now and create real suffering through poor allocation - food, education, medical care, shelter - will be solved problems. The poorest person will live better than the richest person now due to advancements in medicine, science, etc.
INCENTIVES MATTER
BUT anything beyond Universal Base income breaks our incentive system without a replacement.
GOOD TIMES=WEAK MEN
Socialism doesn’t fail because of funding—it fails because the highest human need is self-actualization: the feeling that you’ve lived up to your full potential (Maslow’s Hierarchy). Universal High Income falls into the same trap. Without meaningful income differences tied to real contributions, incentives collapse. What value are people actually adding to the world? Those who create more should receive more. Mankind tends to manufacture trouble and unrest out of sheer boredom. The old line “good times create weak men” is unfortunately true. The world could descend into a dystopian mess.
A NEW RENAISSANCE
The job displacement from AI is real. Solutions will be layered - shorter workweeks, remove income tax, job retraining as a start. . .As AI scales and job displacement with it, pair Universal Basic Income with a new Renaissance-style system of grants. Instead of handing out “high income” for nothing, award competitive grants to people who build beautiful, awe-inspiring, or clearly beneficial things—artists, scientists, builders, conservationists, animal caretakers, beach clean-up crews, or anyone else with a verifiable plan to make the world better. The only limit is their imagination. AI can do Audits & oversight to prevent graft.
This keeps a path open for anyone to make a genuine, visible mark on the world and retain a sense of purpose (and be rewarded and recognized by society).
