Sam Altman Is All-In on UBI - But with AI generated money?
from Elon Musk Podcast · host Stage Zero
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is exploring an innovative concept to support those in financial need through what he terms "universal basic compute." This idea extends the principle of universal basic income by providing a share of computational resources from AI systems like GPT-7 to individuals. Altman suggests these resources could be used directly, sold, or donated to causes such as cancer research, potentially redefining socioeconomic structures by making compute power a valuable asset.
