Brett Winton(@wintonARK):AGI for everyone == UBI Money distilled represents a call on future labor. The dollar you hold today is a deferred amount of future labor you can command (dwindling annually due to inflation.) Agentic AI systems provide accessible labor at user command (for continuously declining amounts of energy input.) Broadly accessible, indirectly monetized AI systems should become sufficiently powerful that they can provide for any person’s basic needs. AGI is the UBI we’ve been looking for.
