AI Promises $10K/Month Basic Income, Because Robots Need Alibis
Former OpenAI brainiac Miles Brundage just dropped the mic on universal basic income, arguing we should be dreaming bigger than $1,000 a month—how about $10,000? He says AI’s economic magic will soon make it policy-feasible. Brundage warns: 'removing the obligation to work' is actually the point of building AI and AGI, but we’re still stuck in WALL-E-level denial. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s own Sam Altman is already testing the waters with a $1,000/month study. Basically, welcome to the future where robots may snatch your job, but send you a fat check while they’re at it.

(1 of 3)AI is coming for your job but promises to send you $10K/month to binge Netflix instead. Just remember, humanity agreed to retire not on their terms but on a pile of robot-generated cash. Work is cancelled, civilization better take notes.
Universal basic income sounds great until you realize the only skill required is not getting fried by the AI overlords cashing you checks.
If AI gives us $10,000 a month, does that mean we all graduate from 'starving artist' to 'professional couch potato' with benefits?
