Thank you sir, I didn’t know the way to fix ailing welfare states was to make ChatGPT available to all.

It is truly the ultimate technofix.

    As an AI language model, I cannot make a sandwich or any food for you.

    However, because you have indicated that you are broke af, which is illegal in the State of Missouri, this conversation and your IP address has been reported to the state police.

    What you get is not dollars, but like productivity.

    Interesting. Interesting theory Altman.

    What if the dollars went to the people who generated that productivity, perhaps?

      What if we had something to represent that productivity? Like, pieces of paper in various denominations. You could just trade them for whatever goods or services you needed.

        Clearly the dollars should go to the people who tell others what to do, and thus stand at the base of increasing productivity, how else would the plebs know what to do. A telling others what to do economy, or perhaps if you will a command economy.

    I love the way these idiots keep incrementing the number on their ChatGPT fantasy as if it’s a sufficient image of the future and it’s going to get everyone on board. Complete failure of imagination, don’t try to picture any actual use for it or anything, just make it… more.

      Just wait til they figure out what number comes after 7. IOS is up to like what, 20? There’s a lot of numbers they have to learn before they can compete with the big boys.

        The greatest version number war of our age is between Chrome and Firefox, nowadays both of which get a major version bump around once a month. Firefox is on 125 and Chrome is on 124.

    Sam Altman is trying to equate compute time with value but fails to see that value can be traded for goods and necessities. Wtf a lumberjack, carpenter, mechanic, plumber, steel worker going to do with compute?

      This is Sam “WorldCoin” Altman we’re talking about, I’m sure he assumes they can mine crypto with it.

    Ubi is meant to provide people with basic survivability in an increasingly automated world.

    I cannot imagine a worse idea than putting basic survivability in the hands of a shareholder bound corporation.

      Oh, they won’t be issues. Well be drinking Compute straight from the can, and all our appliances will run on direct Compute inputs. You’ll get home from your job earning 10 Compute/hr at the Compute factory, pay the standard 120 Compute charge to unlock your front door, hop onto your Compute Generation Dynamo for an hour to power the oven, and then settle down on the sofa for the evening to see what’s on Soravision - discounted to 7 Compute/hr for GPT+ subscribers.

    This is part one of enshittification: You give your service away to get users, and cater to their wishes. Then once they’re hooked you can do whatever you want because they can’t leave.

      it’s more insidious: it’s not giving it away. it’s subverting the “hmm UBI is good actually” argument and saying that people should receive compute instead of money, with a quiet “oh and naturally someone will have to pay us for providing them that compute”

    I’m gonna use my compute to break the encrypting that guarantees that everybody gets an equal slice an then the compute is all mine! MINE!!! My next step is going to be autotuning a proper evil villain laugh.
