How do we ensure that we don’t enter the failure mode of “not enough necessities get made”? Like it seems like people are ideologically for or against UBI, but I’ve never seen anyone discuss how the mechanism would avoid this outcome. Like I’m not saying it’s 100% the outcome that would happen on whatever time frame, just that even e.g. a 10% chance of that happening would make it too risky to attempt at scale. And l…

UBI discussion invariably is way off the mark. The only thing UBI solves is how to give out the money, which is a massive misdirection, the real problem is how to get the money. Do you gut the state and allow people who don't work to have enough money to barely survive as an underclass, or do you end billionaires and usher in a new renaissance where all needs are met and labour shall just be at our whim. These two va…

> or do you end billionaires

Everyone will agree with this, but it isn't even close to enough. Or do you mean end all high revenue companies as well?

Somehow I can imagine that a world where a the brightest minds of a generation didn't spend their prime optimizing ad clicking wouldn't necessarily be a complete disaster.

Optimizing ad clicking is profitable and the thing that would [partially] pay for UBI. That stops happening and money/value stop being created. The market is not 0 sum.

It's good to talk about UBI, but people taking it seriously have no idea how to fund it.

Looks even worse in the sun. At least it belongs in the depressing, shitty weather.

What's depressing and shitty about Brisbane's weather?

Predicated 90% humidity at 3am this evening does not fill me with a great amount of joy.

I think the above commenter may be referring to the rather more unfortunate UK climate though.

For those like me not up on the hip memes: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-world-if

It's funny to see as a joke, but you can go the other way with this too. Image editing models and LoRAs for "previz-to-render upscaling" workflows are actually incredibly useful. I was just writing about this (scroll about halfway down to the images of Sam Altman - though if you like that, do watch the second video): https://getartcraft.com/news/world-models-for-film The best model I've found for this, that almost ba…

You are able to do this stuff with open models for 1-2 years now, i for example have a comfyui pipeline that achieves a similar setup. It’s of course more work and you have to dig into the details more. I also have to adjust the pipeline and tweak it and use different models for each use case. But overall you can definitely achieve that level of control with open models already, it’s just not that user friendly

Singapore does actually look like the renders. By and large.

Most of Singapore looks like the Soviet Union: https://www.google.com/maps/@1.3756813,103.9459007,3a,90y,26... Sun/Light has a lot to do with it. The place linked looks fine/tolerable but put that in the northern of Europe/America and you'll looking at the edge of depression (at least for myself).

Yes, that's how a lot of Singapore looks like. It's an HDB car park.

But your picture of the Soviet Union is perhaps a bit too rosy.

I'm not sure why you'd be depressed? It's a picture of a construction site in a car park. Sure, I'd love having the car infrastructure being less front and centre, too. But otherwise it's fine.

Especially in the age of AI tools, I also thought about this a few times. The current idea I have is something like a parking meter. Every expensive transaction (like calling a model) would subtract from the money pool, and every visitor could see how much is still left in the pool. In addition, a list of the top 5 donors with their amounts might improve the group dynamic (like on pay-what-you-want pages like humbleb…

This won't work when the meter is at zero due to human psychology. New visitors will say: "no one subsidized my experience (indeed I don't even know what $thing does) but wants me to subsidize $thing for others". The whole "subsidize for other visitors" concept is weaker than "pay ".

Wouldn't a floor fix that?

Maybe a bad example, but tipping in a restaurant is an example?
