Super fun and interesting conversation with @Aella_Girl. She talks about: - the sex tips she learned from escorting, - how tech will change pornography, - & whether trauma & enlightenment are real or fake. Enjoy!

heya dwarkesh! this seems like a super interesting episode, but somehow all the links seem not to be working—as if it had been taken down everywhere. weird cus it was there only a week ago, and all your other episodes remain available. can you advise?

.@schisofrenia argues the real UBI question is how AI wealth gets redistributed. @AndrewYang says he’s already seen one version of it firsthand after getting paid $2,500 for AI to use his work: Sofia: "You were the person who first introduced me to the concept of UBI in the first place" "We have a sovereign wealth fund, akin to what Norway has. Alaska has more of a petroleum dividend." "A universal basic dividend would distribute wealth to Americans based on a weighted index of the top AI companies. How you define what the top AI companies are, that's really the core topic of contention." "You could do things like wage insurance. If somebody made 80k a year and their job was displaced by AI and they have to get a job that's 50k a year, the government could compensate those people for the amount that they lost." Andrew Yang: "I am probably the only person in this circle who actually did get paid for their data. AI wants to eat your book and it will pay you $2,500 for the privilege. Imagine if every American got a message like that." @jubileemedia

@aaronburnett It is increasingly probable that Starlink will carry a majority of Earth’s IP traffic long-term. At that point, Starlink would de facto become the Internet and everything else would connect to Starlink.
