Thank you sir, I didn’t know the way to fix ailing welfare states was to make ChatGPT available to all.

It is truly the ultimate technofix.

What you get is not dollars, but like productivity.

Interesting. Interesting theory Altman.

What if the dollars went to the people who generated that productivity, perhaps?

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

What if we had something to represent that productivity? Like, pieces of paper in various denominations. You could just trade them for whatever goods or services you needed.

And remove those dollars from those who have the most of them?! What are you, actually crazy?! You’re clearly crazy.

Clearly the dollars should go to the people who tell others what to do, and thus stand at the base of increasing productivity, how else would the plebs know what to do. A telling others what to do economy, or perhaps if you will a command economy.
