=== Universal Basic Income for AI? (04:26) ===

[00:00:07]  Well, this is kind of a twist.
[00:00:09]  You know, we always talk about universal basic income, and we have one guy who stirred a lot of people, got him quite upset because he said he's founding a company that is going to take everybody's job.
[00:00:23]  Everybody's job.
[00:00:23]  And he's trying to convince us that that's a good thing.
[00:00:27]  And a lot of people are pushing back on this, like, well, no, that's not a good thing, because, you know, now he's going to take their jobs as well.
[00:00:34]  And he says, oh, no, this is excellent.
[00:00:37]  It's already paying top AI researchers to just sit around and not work for the competition.
[00:00:43]  But in a sense, when you look at this, universal basic income, I guess we could say, is going to eventually come for the artificial intelligence guys too, perhaps, right?
[00:00:52]  This is a stretch on the non-compete stuff.
[00:00:57]  And so they're more than willing, if somebody leaves, just to make sure.
[00:01:02]  That they're not going to work for the competition.
[00:01:04]  They will pay them for a year.
[00:01:06]  And as a lot of these people are saying, the artificial intelligence field is moving so quickly that after a year, yeah, they're pretty obsolete.
[00:01:13]  We don't have to worry about that at all.
[00:01:15]  So you just put them on the bench for a year.
[00:01:17]  And that's the same as taking them out of the industry and making sure that they're not pulling over something that you just discovered.
[00:01:22]  I mean, these things are, when you look at it from the standpoint...
[00:01:27]  Of image creation and video creation, these different companies are leapfrogging each other on about every two-week basis.
[00:01:33]  Not clear who's going to be the leader in all of that.
[00:01:36]  But this is coming out of Google, and they call it a garden leave, where basically they keep you in a walled garden and they pay you to stay there.
[00:01:44]  And it is, in a sense, in kind of a microcosm, what they're looking to do with universal basic income to everybody.
[00:01:52]  So it's this famed AI researcher, they say.
[00:01:56]  I don't know who the people are, the players in this.
[00:01:58]  This is a guy who's got a lot of, he's very well known.
[00:02:03]  He launched a startup to replace all human workers everywhere.
[00:02:08]  That's the mission of this company.
[00:02:11]  TechCrunch had the story, they said, every now and then a Silicon Valley startup launches with such an absurdly described mission statement.
[00:02:19]  That it's difficult to discern if the startup is for real or if it's just satire.
[00:02:24]  Except that this guy kind of doubled down on it.
[00:02:27]  He's somebody who's very well known in the industry, and he kind of doubled down on it when he got pushback.
[00:02:33]  The company is called Mechanize because they're going to mechanize the workforce.
[00:02:37]  You're going to be replaced with either chatbots if you've got a white-collar job, or you'll be replaced with robots if you have a blue-collar job.
[00:02:45]  The non-profit AI research organization that he founded is called Epic, and a lot of people coming after him on social media.
[00:02:55]  It was launched last Thursday, a week ago, via a post on X by its founder, who's a pretty famous AI researcher, according to...
[00:03:05]  He said, you know, the market potential here is absurdly large.
[00:03:09]  Workers in the U.S. are paid about $18 trillion per year in aggregate.
[00:03:13]  For the entire world, that number has got to be three times greater, maybe $60 trillion per year.
[00:03:18]  Well, who's going to pay to buy anything?
[00:03:21]  Are the robots going to be buying your product?
[00:03:24]  No, you're not going to pay the robots.
[00:03:27]  Do these people think this stuff through?
[00:03:29]  I mean, it's pretty crazy.
[00:03:40]  The common man.
[00:03:43]  They created common core to dumb down our children.
[00:03:47]  They created common past to track and control us.
[00:03:50]  Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
[00:03:54]  And the communist future.
[00:03:57]  They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
[00:04:02]  But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[00:04:07]  That is what we have in common.
[00:04:11]  That is what they want to take away.
[00:04:13]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
[00:04:18]  They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
