All these guys including Andreesen need the populace to believe their jobs are never gonna be taken. Or if they are that's a good thing and they will be rich. In reality they're gonna make the K shape permanent and hide closed source monolithic models behind a pay/censorship wall and make believe as mideval nobility. Freedom tech or slavery.

Maybe it's a self preservation tactic for the revolt? Also, what's up with the citadelwire clanker? No updates in a while
My best way is to work on not needing employment. This sounds like a quick path to hell. Just what I need, the federal government controlling my entire income lol
Notice he said, “Universal HIGH INCOME checks.” Those are for the CEO class and their ilk. The rest of the populace will get the BASIC INCOME checks. Details matter.
Not Medieval, more like Late Roman nobility. Medieval nobles wielded less arbitrary power than your local Fisheries & Game warden today. Other than that, agree 100%, sadly...

Don’t worry bro we’re gonna tax the clankers
Imagine Elon; over promising and under delivering. You’ll get Star Trek replicator and simulator tech, but not with UBI.

And once again I have yet to see him do something that does not benefit Bitcoin or put Bitcoin at risk.
Of course. Let me use your money and energy to build my empire. I promise to give you free everything. Just like every politican before you vote him in.

He’s a little retarded, for example dogecoin.
if you print money and send it to people it will directly increase inflation universal high income is impossible, if its universal then its not high lol
This idea makes zero logical sense. How would anything be universal and high at the same time?! There is NO high if it’s universal. It’s like saying we’re all only ever gonna be happy. No more sad days. Woohoo, Fucking retard!!
Every time new technology displaced status quo workers, never has the owner(s) of the new machines shared their wealth with the mass-unemployed. They horded all the good fortune only for their unborn great grandchildren, if that. As I watch Elon et al speak of the great coming prosperity for those displaced by his new tech, I'm wondering how many normies has the richest man in the modern world already shared his fortunes with. People are already desperate in this economy and I don't see any middle-class folks singing the praises of savior Musk. Are there any rare books that show this is the same empty promise always told to the working class prior to exterminating their skills' lively hood?

If he wants to make alot of money promoting his AI stuff then the message makes perfect sense, but people's purchasing power will decrease while nominally speaking they might feel **"Zimbabwean billionaire"** richer. I don't get it. Western world is against communism, while actually introducing it. Stuff **"for free"** is never free, someone needs to pay for it. It is just a diception.

Me waiting on the productivity gains for anything that actually matters image
Well, I guess he's not above manipulating the markets and the masses to further his own ends of, well, selling AI and robots. And by the sound of it, he'd probably have governments force those things even on an unwilling population.

I think he is their front man. He got access to the DARPA IP and is smart enough to understand the tech. His job is to sell you on it. Their job is to compel to you make it so.
Well, that wouldn't surprise me anymore either, he wouldn't be the first smart guy to fall in with dark forces 🤷‍♂️

Is mind control also potentially a form of retardation? Is it, like, a color spectrum?
I think so as well. Every genius has a blind spot. Fixed money supply and prices drop forever and checks arent needed
"Que locura de pensar que el precio de Bitcoin cae a causa de la gente retardada, tenés que ver la imagen, es evidente que hay una gran demanda, el Bticoin sigue avanzando, no hay nada que te tenga que preocupar".

He is leveraging populism to mobilize dissatisfied and politically disengaged voters.
If you print money and send it to people, it will directly increase demand for good and services. The other side of that equation is supply. What do you think is the most optimal path to fairly even distrubution of abundance? (Without stopping the printer all together becasue that won't happen unfortunately)

Elon’s reign would come crashing down in a free market. He needs you to stay in the control system. The lies will only increase from here. View quoted note →
His apparent insistance on underestimating the unbound potential for increasing the money supply is effectively the same lie as his insistance that his DOGE project would result in a massive decrease in the government deficit. That being said, Universal Income (whether Basic or 'High') may be inevitable, and most of that money supply inflation is destined to end up in hard assets... might want to get some 😉
The best job will ALWAYS be the one you make, not the one a CEO gives you. Work isn’t going away. Period. Society is about babies and improvement. Socially retarded engineers view everyone else’s work as just a series of tasks to be automated away. As long as humans care about raising children, improving health, creating culture, and building better futures, there will be huge demand for human effort. AI and robotics don’t change underlying drivers. Machines don’t operate in a vacuum. they require oversight, maintenance, auditing, and governance. Even highly automated systems drift, fail, and produce unintended consequences (frequently). Finally, the thing that is claimed to be the best answer, universal high income, does not exist. “High” is a relative term and cannot be universal. A person can be both a retard and a liar.
The more time passes the more I am reconsidering that is isn't retarded. Starting to think he is, and other big tech "genius" guys like him, are a psyops, constructed in order to become people's hero. They are used to appel people that don't trust old systems and/or politicians, but they are the same, puppets moved by someone else pulling the strings. If you have to fake your "gamer" statistics after supposedly you have built the biggest companies in the last 10/20 yrs.. that's already a retardation signal big like a house. If you were behind PayPal and create FUD on bitcoin clearly exposing you Don under it (you can think his a lie ofc), it's another signal of retardation.
Like howard hughes before him, musks various business ventures run on a lot of large government contracts...I consider space x, nueralink, starlink, the tunneling business, and to a lesser extent twitter and tesla, to be essentially government cutouts. Not exactly a new playbook. One of the conditions for the givernments continued patronage is that musk always toe the company line. in other words, he will say what his handlers tell him to say.
Even if its not a lie, becoming dependable on the gov for your food makes you a financial slave because if you are not compliant they can opt you out of the food stamps.

Yup, controlled opposition/disinformation like Chomsky. 90% true but the 10% that matters when it matters, well that lever of narrative power is priceless to HQ.
I don’t know the full context, but it looks more like a provocation than a lie.

Will there be an FOSS version of neuralink? Otherwise it’s likely to become another CBDC:. Maybe: Central Bank Digital Cognition.
Look into starlink in the Russia Ukraine conflict..."Adrian dittman" was able to get off 4 chan and stop playing Diablo 6 long enough to determine the outcomes of certain battles. War machine goes brrrrr.
Robots will reduce scarcity of consumable, essential items. Food, toiletries, transport, to some extent even housing by lowering building cost (not land). But truly scarce assets will skyrocket in value in this regime.

More words of wisdom from Odell. Musk employs 200,000+ people, builds robots, self driving cars, the world's largest rockets, and is neck deep in the AI revolution every single day but sure, the guy behind a cartoon profile pic on Nostr has it all figured out. Sit down.
