Interesante artículo de Molly Kinder en #Substack sobre "los reemplazados por la IA"

Es esto así? A mi, por ejemplo, m…

Now run the UBI thought experiment against this picture. If you cut everyone a check large enough to replace a displaced consultant or software engineer’s six-figure income, why does anyone show up to clean hospital floors, build your house, police your streets, or care for elderly people in a nursing home?

I still remember the abject horror I felt when some "ConservaMom" on twotter back in the day 'pointed out' to those who wanted free and universal health care that a Ferrari would no more have value if everyone had one.
I don't know what exactly I replied, but it got me an instant block and I'd be ashamed of myself if it hadn't.
It really is a brain worm. But is there any hope for the affected? I think even in my most demented free-market-believer day…
