because the dream of AGI is overarching capitalist dream: a world without workers
Yes, a dream that forgets to factor in that a world without workers would (currently) also mean a world without consumers.
Also, possible missing word.

“In a few months’ time, this government will not be accountable for the severe consequences that may follow from the Schiphol decision, particularly with respect to relations with the Netherlands’ trading partners, and lost jobs and prosperity at home,”

- “In a few months’ time, this government will not be accountable for the severe consequences that may follow from the Schiphol decision, particularly with respect to relations with the Netherlands’ trading partners, and lost jobs and prosperity at home,”
- This comment ONLY refers to things economic, and NOTHING to climate boiling, which air travel is a significant contributor to.'
- If they saw it coming from years ago, why did they not adapt? It is their failure to adapt itself that places themselves in a self-created position of vulnerability
- During a transition as unprecedented as this, the governments of the world must invoke policy that gives protection to workers in industries such as the airline industry and all industries downstream of it so that they can survive the transition as such jobs vanish or morph.
- Indeed, this is one of the major tenets of degrowth advocates. A Universal Basic Income and job retraining to sustainable jobs is the responsible thing to do to protect from job losses.

Labor in a fully func-tioning Ecological Civilization will include three essentialelements.
- for:UBI, universal basic income
- for: UBI, universal basic income, futures
- The physical labor required to maintain life’s essential conditions against the forces of entropy.
- The intellectual labor required to constantly test and advance the individual and collective maps of our ever-evolving territory.
-
The spiritual labor required to continuously renew our sense of individual and collective connection to all that is.
-
comment
- two of these are articulating the entanglement of the individual and collective.

Let us briefly discuss three specific examples of concepts that seem particularly promising for theprospect of ‘good enough world’ and could become synergistically interrelated: (a) the social policy ofunconditional basic income, (b) the development of blockchains and (c) the idea of the offer networks
!- claim : examples of a good enough world * Universal Basic Income (UBI) * Blockchain * Offer network
-
he innovation must modulate the behaviour of the decision-produced socialorganization such that this will result in the realisation of the ‘good enough’ relationship betweenhumans and social systems, that is, it will secure the organic and psychological continuity of thehuman being unconditionally and specifically, irrespective to the continuity of their personware.
!- in other words : enoughness * Universal Basic Income (UBI)

Scientists say that when we all have UBI, we will all be coomers. The future is a fountain of pure pleasure—of near-infinite robotic hedonic inflation. Even now there is no shortage of every kind of delightful flavored cummies.

This author has emphasized that the need to start new businesses or join new businesses is essential to revitalizing our economic conditions.
This is a good enough reason for introducing a Universal Basic Income. Starting/joining new businesses require a degree of entrepreneurship that is impossible if there is any risk of falling into deprivation and poverty during the process.

I remember reading Matt Bruenig when I was in college, and he was like, “Well, actually Social Security was the most effective pathway to bring people out of poverty.” I wrote a story in 2017 called “Why Education Is Not the Key to a Good Income,” and it was looking at this growing body of research that showed it was not your level of education that determined your chances of rising economic mobility. It was these other factors—like what kind of industries were in your community, union density, some of it was marriage.
makes sense... the best way out of poverty isn't education... it's money.

“Creators want to create. Creators don't need to be paid to create. However, creators also need to eat. Creators need to have homes. Creators can't create so long as they aren't free to create,”
So true.

A more compelling vision, grounded in a materialist analysis of the conditions of production, would be a world where no one needs to get paid for these contributions because their material needs are taken care of through other means.
Absolutely. The argument is always "how will creators get paid" and if they don't get paid, "why would they create?" but this completely misses the point. Creators don't create to get paid, they create to create. Payment is a nice side effect of creation (sometimes). It would be really neat to see a UBI situation where creators are freed up to do what drives them instead of what they need to do to pay the bills.

Suppose college tuition was free and every first-year had a guaranteed job lined up for after graduation. This parallel universe does exist at military-service academies—and at West Point, Annapolis, and Colorado Springs, humanities majors are at about the same level as they were in 2008.
Huge clue re: precarity's effect. Also a bit of a portent in the possible effect of a Universal Basic Income. Which has to now become a new tag I use...

Universal Basic Income and Health Care will benefit faculty, staff and students. President Nixon considered it in 1969, but didn't follow through.

Swiss voters will decide in a referendum on June 5 whether to introduce a “basic income”. In proposed reforms to the social welfare system, all residents would be entitled to a guaranteed income of SFr30,000 ($30,275) a year from the state — unconditionally.
I don't think this happened?
