I think you're absolutely right that we need to make sure somehow that the benefits of AI don't just go to a few. (And I think the few recognize that, by the way.) Yang talks about it too in the clip. Large majorities of people with zero income and no way to buy things would not tolerate it.

AI with UBI could be a really great thing, kind of like we're all retired comfortably and can do the things we want to do. I just think we should be talking about it a lot. Not just sitting here waiting for the turn of friendly cards.
