He's not an economist, so I'd be healthily skeptical of this exact economic solution. You should however be very concerned about his opinions on where AI is going that it may necessitate this.

It's kind of curious that the headline here is "UBI" given that he mentions AI poses an extinction-level risk.

He's not an economist and that's exactly why I trust him more.

i feel you but the solution is not placing your trust in people who don't know about the subject at hand.

It's incorrect to assume he doesn't have any knowledge of economics. If you ever listen to him speak about Reagan you'd understand that yes, he does have an understanding of economics, just not from the perspective of someone brainwashed by the system.

i was assuming he didn't by the way you said it. i'm not very informed of this guy, specifically.
