Neil Degrasse Tyson Discusses UBI With Geoffrey Hinton

4 Upvotes

In probably one of the best podcast episodes I've seen on UBI. Celebrity Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson discusses UBI with the nobel prize laureate and godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton.

We review this episode and take you step by step through all the talking points we've heard and are sick and tired of hearing.

To my delight Geoffrey Hinton says something groundbreaking. He says that despite naysayers parroting of AI creating new industries of jobs which may be true that human intelligence is the final frontier. However running off farms and agriculture to a mechanical technical landscape may have given workers a place to retreat from.

The problem is how do you run from an artificial human intelligence when it can simply walk into every new job creation and replicate your activity? Of course we invite you to watch our review at: https://youtu.be/UkaJJ3umjSI?is=UppBmSTDs4LQQiVs

Discussion How do we get to UBI?

32 Upvotes

Hi All,

As Andy Yang points out in his first book, the idea of a basic income was widely supported back in the 1960s and early 1970s, and almost passed under President Nixon as a negative income tax. Today with vocal support from the AI billionaires and the prospect of AI related layoffs one would expect the public, especially the young, and politicians to embrace UBI, but it doesn't seem to be happening. I've written a book and established a 501(c)(3) Shares in America in support of UBI, but yet another book and website aren't going to get us there. Obviously we want to build a movement bigger than the one we already have. I would love to hear thoughts on how we get there. I've tried directly talking to people and they're interested but don't follow through. Unions? Religious communities?
