Sam Altman’s basic-income study showed recipients valued work more after getting monthly payments.
The finding challenges arguments against such programs that say a basic income discourages work.
Participants got $1,000 a month for three years, making it one of the largest studies of its kind.
New findings from OpenAI CEO Sam
It’s almost as if, when people aren’t taken in shitty jobs or of necessity and constantly worrying about survival, they can find work they actually enjoy doing, without worrying as much about the compensation.
But then who will pick up my trash that I throw in the public park? Who will parent my children? Who will fix my toilet and plumbing? Who can I yell at while waiting for my coffee?
The ai powered robots that will be replacing thousands of employment options in the next couple decades
As long as I can see their suffering…
Why do you think they’re racing to make the most anthro-adjacent bots out there? Most of us would’ve been friends with an R2 unit or BB-8, BD-1, a mouse droid or four, but nooo. Corpo wants us to see it cry. 😶
People still want more than 12 thousand a year.
So anyone you like, but the price for keeping someone turning up to any menial working environments raises a lot.
Plumbing is already a skilled trade, there will be no shortage of plumbers. They will work for the money. Of course you might find they’ll walk more easily if treated with disrespect. Honestly that’ll happen with a good plumber now.
The same will happen to all jobs. You can’t yell at anyone anymore or you’ll be refused service.
If no one had to be there the worst customers who ruin service work suddenly have to behave like decent human beings all the time. Or they don’t get the privilege of being a customer.
