Iโm feeling like Sisyphus with this damned novel.
Push that boulder of prose to the summit, convinced Iโve nailed the final tweak, then I reread it the next day and the whole rotten thing thunders back down the mountain in a avalanche of pure garbage that rolls straight over my soul.
@betancourtlit Beginnings are little windows where almost anything is possible, where the universe itself is poised to see what comes next, what successes or failures await, what path the traveler will take, whether luck, will, or disaster be the guide.
Universal High Income is welfare. Thereโs no doubt in my mind that it will lead toward a very dark future.
Universal Human Investment on the other hand is a royalty paid out to the stakeholders, to the entire human race whose collective knowledge was used as the data set to train AI.
It should be like the deed to a house. One that was transferred down a long line of ancestors to end up in your hands. They built the house. The language. The culture, the religions. They built the foundation upon which we all now stand.
AI companies have taken all of that knowledge and want to pay us back with welfare checks. They will take our jobs, rob us of our livelihood, and make humans a redundant workforce. And then want to put us all on welfare.
This is the darkest of all possible outcomes. It will rob humans of their dignity and purpose. Universal Human Investment, on the other hand, gives each member of the human race, each individual alive now because the hard work of countless ancestors, an investor in the future. A stakeholder in the world to come.
It should be a royalty payment, paid to the owners of this knowledge. Paid to the individuals whose ancestors wrote, toiled and collated this knowledge base. It will retain human dignity and would be an appropriate thank you to all those who came before us.
Sent the first three chapters of my debut novel to a publisher two weeks ago. They got back to me a few days later requesting the full manuscript.
Itโs been two years of early mornings, believing in myself, and using that belief as fuel. They might not like the rest of the story, and that would sting, but this is still a milestone. A clear line between what I wanted to do and what Iโve actually done.
