If anyone caught it, the last June Waking Up podcast has Andrew Yang on talking about universal income.
Granted, I was already ready to buy in, but he makes a really strong argument, suggesting it’s not just the low-level jobs that will be lost in great numbers to AI (retail, food service, truck driving), but also jobs that require a significant amount of money and training to be qualified for (Oncology for example).
The main takeaway is a very dire look at our future without a universal basic income on the horizon.
