In actual non-ironic news, UBI is not just the best but the only plausible remedy for AI job losses that I have ever heard of. It's still not a great solution, though. A disturbingly small number of people are able to derive meaning from anything other than work.

And people without meaning get nasty.

Except there's one small problem: AI is nowhere near ready to replace humans at the scale tech CEOs claim it will or even does. All what CEOs did is to force smaller crew to work 72 hours a week, which sure will be very sustainable in the short run.

Yes, the people without meaning. Your antecedent.
