I think it should. It fixes a lot of issues. There’s enough wealth out there that this concept could actually work. Any thriving nation should have a universal basic income to prevent all its citizens from succumbing to poverty. What’ do you think are the cons here?

The argument against is understandable. If you quickly look at it’s clearly a misappropriation of tax dollars. But hear me out on this. What if at the end of the day is costing the same if not less to fund this program.

With ubi you can get rid of a lot of government waste and all the administration that comes with each of those other programs. Social security, welfare, programs focused on poverty, subsidy. They’re all gone and the costs to fund these massive departments.

There’s also an argument that addiction and mental health epidemic is worsened by poverty. By providing people with basic needs we can reduce suffering massively. This benefits everyone.

It also encourages entrepreneurs. People will have more ability to take risks with their ideas. No longer would starting a business be isolated to trust fund kids and people with strong safety nets.

It helps solve the problem of AI risking other people’s jobs. This makes it easier for us to fully adopt new technology and automation helping the country to be competitive in this new area without fear of increasing poverty.

Just look at recent events. Having all this wealth concentrated on the hands of guys who review pizza places or these Dynasty’s that go back generations is not benefiting us. They play with the lives of everyone so casually that it creates a lot of suffering and we still lose all that wealth and get nothing for it. Watching the way these billionaires casually lose millions over the past few months and not care while they argue that they can’t even be taxed has opened my eyes to a lot of things.

Our countries are suffering and dying out because wealth stealing it’s concentration by the upper crust of all our nation’s. It’s not immigrants. It’s not politicians. It’s not the drug users. It’s the upper class stealing from us.

I agree fully. This would be the single greatest thing we could do.

Jesus Christ exaggerating what I said like talking to a trump voter

Yea but now we do. And not every one did survive

Yea what’s your point. That’s basic understanding of getting information from anywhere. LLM Excel at querying information using human language. If I’m stuck trying to remember some obscure thing on the tip of my tongue and all I have to go off of is the color of a shirt, the accent and general time period then LLM beat everything out of the water in speed to get me the correct answer

Some kids have medical issues and need a phone to monitor their health or text family for advice and help since they may be young. It’s also nice to track the kids with their phone when they’re walking too and from school.

Are you suggesting that people on the left should abandon all these new powerful technologies to the right. We’re in a capitalist society. You’re suggesting “fuck it” and leave only right leaning consumers for these powerful new products.

What the fuck. I can’t stand being on the fucking left. Some of the most ineffective people on the planet. It’s a fucking doomed political group. There’s no forethought.

It’s just as bad as people saying don’t use AI

We have to use it and we have to adopt it. Stop giving up powerful tools, technology and space to the right. I’m getting to be so done with the left if they just continue to shit the fucking bed.

That’s kind of funny because that’s how humans are too. Naturally people trend towards being good people but they have to be corrupted to trend towards xenophobic or sexist or us vs them ideals.

I ask it questions all the time and it helps verify facts if I’m looking for more information

I’m with you on the “they’re not Nazi thing”

I think Lemmy is being a space for targeted radicalization for certain groups.

But still I think you’re wrong that we can separate technology from this political stuff right now. It’s not separate. Technology is the medium that groups are using to spread this stuff. It’s important and interesting to see how they’re doing it.

Content should focus on the tech side of it. And also why be angry at the side that’s just trying to protect their freedoms here. If it wasn’t for the people trying to limit their freedoms, we’d never hear of this stuff.

The issue isn’t people trying to identify as another gender. It’s the people saying no they can’t and then abusing their power and influence to do it.
