100 years from now : The Allowance

This week: the billionaires who broke the economy want to pay you to shut up about it. Last week, Elon Musk pinned a post to the top of his X profile: "Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI." Sam Altman wants to go bigger - "universal extreme wealth", paid in compute tokens. Amodei says UBI may be "part of the answer." Khosla says it's a necessary safety net. All of them, in unison.
