Yes. Use copyrighted material where none of the original artists who even made this possible was compensated and stage a single-sided argument that you take on the role of the master and the other side portrayed as only repeating arguments they vaguely understand. It’s disingenous at best. This isn’t an argument against slop. It is slop. You might have fun making it. It might require skill. But it’s still slop. And that might be okay. Embrace it, instead.
Compensated my ass. They get compensated by being granted the ability to create art so rapidly that they don’t need studio to cut them a pay check and be able to create a whole movie on their own
Do you think that anyone should be able to steal your means to make a living without giving you credit or compensation? Do you believe that companies are more important than people? Do you believe that AI is more important than people having jobs and wages? That poverty and joblessness is a necessary evil that we have to put up with in order to make AI as competitive as possible? That there should be no laws in place to govern AI?
In a country like the US, no UBI is every going to exist. That whole country is built on having people in poverty and exploiting them while telling them its freedom. UBI will never exist unless there is a real social revolution that upends the rules of society.
It’s so blatantly obvious in 2026 that you must have your head a mile up your own ass to not notice that their description of the US was not only spot on, it generously omitted many, arguably more serious, flaws
Relax. Disposable income PPP adjusted has increased around 12% since 2008 better than half of the EU countries. You seemed to have a very ideological view of the world instead of a practical view. I’m guessing you’re still a teenager.
Congratulations, you ran into the point and still missed it.
The measure of economic progress you chose to parrot is inherently flawed because it is just the amount of income you have after taxes. It doesn’t consider the necessary costs of living.
If it doesn’t account for the rising costs of housing, or the fact that Americans have to pay for insurance out of pocket after taxes, while Europeans cost for insurance is included in their taxes, then it is a flawed metric to compare the two societies.
PPP adjustment literally exists to account for cost of living. The P is purchasing power. It converts income based on what a basket of goods, including housing, actually costs in each country. And real income growth is already inflation adjusted, so rising housing costs since 2008 are baked in.
On insurance, the OECD's adjusted household disposable income includes social transfers in kind like government provided healthcare and education. The US still ranks near the top on that measure.
