My working assumption is that we are lurching towards a major depression on the scale of the Great Depression, and it will be under these conditions capital eliminates white collar labor with AI. Unclear the timeline or the best positioning for this; the safest move is just get used to having less, have enough liquidity to deploy during max fear while still living

what do you think of teleoperation gigs? if the surrogate body can be commoditized, wouldn't this establish credibility for UBI?

cc @cassie had a good take, reductively, a UBI that's already sustainable implies post-scarcity anyway, so why have money?

economically, we have a labor crunch, the only issue is that CoL/equity isn't proportional to the trades/public service. 

I feel pretty confident that a "humans building telehumanoids building autohumanoids" narrative would be bullish hype for enough time to cross the no-man's land.

I think there are probably salient arguments for UBI before you even have to reach for teleoperation. That said I haven’t considered the full range of possibilities wrt UBI and am undereducated on the pros and cons
