SAM ALTMAN proposes ‘Universal Basic Compute,’ in which everyone would have access to a portion of GPT-7’s computing resources ✨ Sam considers that UBI should soon be approached differently: “I wonder if the future looks something more like Universal Basic Compute than Universal Basic Income, and everybody gets like a slice of GPT-7 compute,” said Altman, in the recent episode of the All-in podcast. "He said that this would not be in the form of money but as a share of productivity that could be used, sold, or even donated for initiatives like cancer research, etc." “I am not like a super fan of how the government has handled most policies designed to help poor people, and I kind of believe that if you could just give people money they would make good decisions, and the market would do its thing,” reminisced Altman, saying that he is pretty much in favour of lifting up the poor and eliminating poverty. What do you think? Do poor people prefer the chance of being more 'productive' with AI, rather than receiving UBI? How does this fit with Sam's iris scanning crypto project Worldcoin? Is just a commendable idea, or does it also offer a path to embedding OpenAI's AI models into government strategy? Is the choice of GPT-7 as a milestone a heads up in terms of expected timing? #ai #openai #gpt #compute #openai #ubi
