Here's an article on the 4 day work week and UBI which, whilst quite cynical, still shows some important points:
"Already, it’s estimated that, in the first year of ChatGPT, 14 per cent of Americans lost their jobs to robots."
"... because AI will reduce employment.
But if true, it’s hard to see how four days will be any more of a safeguard than five. That’s where UBI comes in..."
What do you think?

UBI seems against any typical State program or way of doing things... (States cutting jobs or automating with machines)...
@ubi4me I think what you said is another good example of the #State and #Industry cutting jobs for it's own direct benefit.
To pocket the #profit and go towards #cutting more #human #choice or #personality from the whole picture - mainly using humans for their bodies or specialist minds and not really what they think (nobody really asks us or is paid to do really do anything much about it).
So I wonder why $tate and Indu$try would ever allow #UBI considering things like this is has been their staple for as long as anyone can remember happening over and over? Why would they change anything without the same tricks happening again?
Even on an #uncaring #daily #basis we see and hear and know it - it's almost like it was their #job itself to do such things don't you think?
So "why?" allow UBI is the question, as if we haven't been #tricked or #promised before...
