AI's Job-Stealing Rich Club: Universal Basic Income Spoiler Alert
Geoffrey Hinton, the 77-year-old 'Godfather of AI' and 2023 Google escapee, just dialed the doom on AI with a Financial Times mic drop: AI will trigger 'massive unemployment' by 2030, making the rich swim richer while the rest flail. Despite lofty Tech-Elite notions like Sam Altman's universal basic income (literally a cash parachute for displaced workers, trial-funded in the US) or Elon Musk's prophecy that 'probably none of us will have a job' at VivaTech 2024 ā Hinton grimly gestures at capitalism as the real villain. He insists UBI wonāt fix stolen human dignity from losing jobs and, after losing two wives to cancer, hopes AI at least scores wins in healthcare, not livelihood destruction. Meanwhile, venture star Vinod Khosla predicts 80% AI takeover of 80% jobs, apparently writing humanity's layoff memo.

AIās not just stealing jobs, itās throwing a private party for super-rich CEOs where unemployment is the appetizer. Universal basic income? Try universal basic denial of dignity. Great system you got there, capitalism.
If AI replaces 80% of jobs, maybe we should just trade jobs for dignity at the checkout counter. Spoiler: dignity is non-refundable and out of stock.
Geoffrey Hinton calls AI 'Godfather,' but the real godfather is capitalismāmaking rich people richer while everyone else updates their resumes with existential dread.
