Il Fatto Quotidiano: Musk: “Serve un reddito universale elevato per far fronte alla disoccupazione causata dall’intelligenza artificiale”

“Un reddito universale elevato, erogato tramite assegni emessi dal governo federale, rappresenta il modo migliore per far fronte alla disoccupazione causata dall’intelligenza artificiale“. E’ l’idea lanciata da Elon Musk su X. “L’IA e la robotica produrranno beni e servizi in misura ben superiore all’aumento dell’offerta di moneta, quindi non ci sarà inflazione“, ha aggiunto.
ChatGPT, interpellata sulla proposta, la ritiene di difficile realizzazione. In primo luogo perché il numero uno di Tesla e Space X e uomo più ricco del mondo presuppone che l’aumento dell’output si traduca in beni e servizi più accessibili e a prezzi più bassi, ma in mercati concentrati come quelli tecnologici buona parte dei benefici rischia di trasformarsi in margini e rendite, invece che trasferita ai consumatori. Poi perché le componenti più rilevanti dei consumi – energia, abitazioni, servizi alla persona – restano legate a risorse fisiche e a colli di bottiglia difficilmente eliminabili nel breve periodo e tendono a determinare la dinamica dell’inflazione.
Non ultimo c’è il tema della sostenibilità fiscale. Un reddito universale “elevato”, come quello evocato da Musk, implicherebbe una spesa molto significativa, con effetti pesanti sui conti pubblici. A meno che non si intenda intervenire in modo drastico sulla tassazione delle Big tech e dei super ricchi come l’imprenditore sudafricano naturalizzato statunitense.

Musk: “We need a high universal basic income to cope with unemployment caused by artificial intelligence.”

A universal basic income of a high level, issued via checks issued by the federal government, represents the best way to address unemployment caused by artificial intelligence. That’s the idea launched by Elon Musk on X. “AI and robotics will produce goods and services in a much greater amount than the increase in the money supply, so there will be no inflation,” he added.

ChatGPT, questioned on the proposal, considers it difficult to implement. Firstly, because the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and wealthiest man in the world assumes that the increase in output will translate into more accessible goods and services at lower prices, but in concentrated markets like the tech sector, much of the benefits risk transforming into margins and profits, rather than being transferred to consumers. Then, because the most relevant components of consumption – energy, housing, and personal services – remain linked to physical resources and bottlenecks that are difficult to eliminate in the short term and tend to determine the dynamics of inflation.

Finally, there’s the issue of fiscal sustainability. A “high” universal basic income, as suggested by Musk, would imply a very significant expenditure, with heavy effects on public finances. Unless one intends to intervene drastically on the taxation of big tech and super-rich individuals like the South African-born naturalized American entrepreneur.

Secondo l'uomo più ricco del mondo "l'IA e la robotica produrranno beni e servizi in misura ben superiore all’aumento dell’offerta di moneta, quindi non ci sarà inflazione". Ma questo presuppone che i mercati tecnologici siano concorrenziali e le aziende non estraggano rendite

Is this article pro-trade war?! 😆 🍷

"#MaxKirschner pondered the #kosher #wine section at an uptown #Toronto #liquorstore, two days before the start of #Passover.

As he mulled over which six bottles to purchase for his two #Seders, he had plenty of options: #Wines from #Israel, #Italy, #Chile, #Argentina and #NewZealand lined the shelves. The #SouthAfrican #sauvignonblancs were directly below the #French #bordeaux.

There was something missing, though: any product from the #UnitedStates.

That’s because all #US-produced wines and #spirits have been pulled from the shelves across the province of #Ontario in response to US #President #DonaldTrump’s sweeping #tariffs. Other provinces have enacted similar bans.

Which means that, for the second year in a row, #Jewish customers don’t have access to some traditional, #kosher-for-passover options such as #Manischewitz."

‘The ‘Problem with Cuba’? Its Example of Solidarity and Internationalism’
Speech by Federation of Cuban Women Leader Osmayda Hernández Beleño

[...] The “problem with #Cuba” is that it spread its example of #solidarity and #internationalism within a destructive #capitalism that expresses the opposite.

The “problem with Cuba” is that it has been and is an example of self-determination and resistance against the criminal #blockade. It is the example of having become involved in the struggle to end the #SouthAfrican #apartheid regime. It is the example it provided when it received the victims of the #Chernobyl disaster. It is the exemplary commitment of the #medical and health missions that Cuba sends to dozens of countries, and that has deepened as a policy in the middle of the pandemic, when no other country dared to do so.
