Do work that AI can't do without physical medium. Right now I'm a trucker, I'm happy to transition to welder, construction or farming.

At the same time be self sufficient. I'm building my home to work off solar with a backup generator and built in water catchment along with 2 wells. I'm building a hell of a garden with goats, chickens and rabbits. I'm considering hogs but that's gonna take some experimentation. To produce our own water, food, spices and herbs.

People with skills, no job and lots of needs to fulfil have to become self reliant, alone or in a larger group. Fortunately there are going to be great technologies to support that - solar panels, water filtration, automation and of course AI. A community can organise their own school, clinic and store, build their own houses, repair their equipment. The total dependency on the outside should be diminished.

Of course they can't make their own computer chips and are going to use open source software, same for medicine and construction materials. And they need some initial capital. But that should provide a way for people to use their hands to improve their situation. Own your means of production so you don't need a job. We don't need corporations to UBI us, just our share of resources to build with.
