In the UK its not called UBI but just a "Benefits System", or "Welfare", "Job Seekers Allowance". Basically the same thing, being given money by government while you're not working.

But Capitalism is the platform of Greed. We are clawing at each other for more money, yet we die inevitably. This is super irrational. The only thing that matters is working towards Humanity's extension through Time. Keeping the environment livable. Figuring out Immortality. And feeling good. Because even though you need a bad time to know what a good time is, do we really want that amount of suffering some go through? We have been duped, fooled, hypnotised into thinking we need to hoard, when that is totally pointless. Capitalism is hoarding.

So when Ai can do every intellectual task, along with physical tasks, and even beyond, what will be the point of human effort? In that future, just for the novelty which is the entertainment of it really. If elites can create consumer items for so cheap, yet selling them at like 1000% of the price, hopefully cheaper, humans will feel empty. Because the elites presence will show us an unreachable plateau. Davos Agenda already said it, "You WILL own nothing, and be happy. " that sounds like a command to me. But somebody's gotta own whatever it is. Even if we were to say it is everyone's, or God's. But i doubt they will of history is anything to go by. Capitalism is wrong bro.

So what is better? Just letting Ai do the labour while we just have sex, drugs, alcohol, movies, games, music, exercise, universal exploration/science in collaboration with Ai and self enlightenment... for free.
