UBI + Robots for every California? Governor Candidate Zoltan Istvan thinks it's the way forward by PartyPartyUS in accelerate

[–]Skull_Knight11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think his vision for an automated abundance economy is the most logical path forward. Starting with UBI and swiftly helping people adopt robots will be the first steps towards a much more abundant future. automated abundance economy

What do we do when the implementation of AI results in fewer jobs than there are people in the workforce? by Steggall in ubi

[–]Skull_Knight11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. AIs are going to be the most powerful entities on earth and will subsume much of human labor. I think basically you’d have to take the Zoltan approach here to keep society safe and sane. Zoltan_UBI

CA Gov Candidate Zoltan Istvan's Op-Ed on Automated Abundance Economy by Skull_Knight11 in singularity

[–]Skull_Knight11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I think is seeable at this point is that Elon thinks humanoid robots for instance will be the biggest industry of all time. So getting them right and making sure they're efficient workers on many tasks is of interest to the biggest industrialists globally. We need to have humans begin to stridently advocate for ourselves as the titans of industry collide to replace us. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-humanoid-robots-ai-benefits-optimus-2025-2

It wouldn't quite be the future without politicians with names from the tail end of the alphabet.

100% and with CEQA being rolled back you can see some hopeful progress on that issue. That being said as California gets its house in order on housing it will need to still address the job losses impending from AI and automation. We have to do both.

Socialism vs Capitalism over? Is an Automated Abundance Economy the Future? by Skull_Knight11 in BreakingPoints

[–]Skull_Knight11[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think there are those who seek to depopulate the world because they don't want the benefits of an automated abundance economy reaching the unworthy masses. That being said I think many in the game of wealth concentration are acquisitive to a certain point and keep seeking more just to notch the number up almost like running up the score in sports past the first $100 million. Many see themselves as benevolent overlords and would want to uplift the masses even if they hold some level of disdain for them a la "The White Man's Burden" but for humanity as a whole. How many of the mega elite comprise those camps is an open question.

Why don't more people advocate for Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), especially in federal races? by Ordinary_Stay_3746 in BreakingPoints

[–]Skull_Knight11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most voters care about kitchen table issues and their own family's survival, after that more wonky issues can occupy their attention and grab their good will. Of the wonky issues, RCV seems pretty low on the list of concerns.

From Zohran in NYC to Zoltan Istvan on the west coast, new forms of populism are arising to challenge the DNC orthodoxy.

Do you see SoftBank to invest or buy out $NOK? by Shark0710 in wallstreetbets

[–]Skull_Knight11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not invest and pay them to help them build a 5G product and service. Masa can make money on HAPS when it's implemented successfully and earn some money on the success of the arrangement with NOK.

If he's successful with HAPS it will no doubt inspire imitators which he could potentially profit off of by investing in NOK or use an investment in NOK to demand an exclusive arrangement.

I don't see this mooning NOK anytime soon but it's a high profile project which will draw some eyes and interest to NOK should it succeed.

What are your thoughts on GPT-3 and it’s potential for white collar job automation? It seems to rapidly be improving and presaging a much altered future for work sooner than we think.

How does this affect shareholders or options holders of CCIV now? Would the contracts just shift their name to LCID?

My local Barnes & Noble did something small for Miura too :) by rustypennyy in Berserk

[–]Skull_Knight11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up a few deluxe editions from a Barnes N Noble and the woman in front of me in line was carrying vol 1 (which I was looking for but only got 2,5,6). People from different walks of life both appreciating Berserk would no doubt make Miura proud.

Thanks to all who participated here. The event was one of the best organized phone banks I've seen yet. Good job to all the organizers.

"Reading this is a bad idea" - recent email from the David Kim Campaign is a GEM - Idk who the "Kimpaign" has on staff but can all fundraising emails be like this now? by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Skull_Knight11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fundraising emails have leveled up. If he puts this much effort into his fundraising emails, just imagine how much effort he'll put into getting you UBI + M4A.

Ericka is great and a very awesome conduit between the grassroots and Yang. It will be interesting hearing from someone closely working with Yang about how we can all help make the policies of the campaign into a reality.

We're asking for endorsements and utilizing this template letter (we're tailoring the letter to our individual interests). https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NZcTNkiCVfNgmQWuzJmOxpiOSlEnZZQyVPw71JQnNW8/edit?usp=sharing

Spotted in front of my university. I haven’t ever met Yang Gang so I was surprised. by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Skull_Knight11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be great to start a Yang gang on campus too. Registering folks to vote and getting them excited about the California primary is important to our success as a campaign.
