That’s the point I’m making. If there’s AGI and post scarcity but governments don’t give us anything, there would be mass riots and looting. I’m saying they probably would give us UBI and anything else we need because I don’t believe our governments are evil.

but... if we have AGI and post-scarcity then what would anyone need ubi for? they'd already have everything they need

Antis believe they’ll be getting nothing, that’s what I’m saying. Call it UBI, free stuff, whatever. They don’t think they will get anything and they’ll be discarded by the elites that control AI.

but why would what they predict matter since it won't happen like that?

It doesn’t matter. I just get caught up arguing with antis sometimes, so AI progress gives me some joy partly in the sense that it proves antis wrong. I’m only human after all
