Keep your eye on the ball: 100% of the profits must pay for universal healthcare.
I love this idea, but I’m not sure if any AI company has made any profit to date lmao
No AI company will ever make a profit.
That’s no excuse for you to forget that human rights is our ultimate goal.
Never take your eye off the ball. Vote for humans. Fight for human equality. 🏳️🌈
No AI company will ever make a profit.
Microsoft, Facebook, and NVIDIA all make enormous profits.
Year over a year, those profits are plummeting.
AI companies, themselves, have never made a profit
Like AI, you’re hallucinating
AI companies, themselves, have never made a profit
Might as well say Internet Explorer has never turned a profit.
They're being incorporated into highly profitable software vendors and foisted on profitable businesses.
Meanwhile, the companies producing the models are rapidly enriching their owners and early investors. That looks like profit to me.
Nvidia yes, all the others I'm not so sure: https://isaiprofitable.com/
Microsoft has shoehorned so much of their AI into it's OS that it's the same product.
Whether this tanks their OS sales remains to be seen. But your site is trying to draw a line that no longer exists.
Are you a one issue voter?
I mean, if they are, life quality of humans is a hell of a valid issue.
They need to be funding UBI with it too. Every time a company kills a job because of AI they need to be taxed and that should go to UBI.
Absolutely
But I wonder how it will work out, if they will use tax money to buy shares fuck no
How about a 50% stake in all companies valued over 5 billionaire dollars.
how about a 100% stake in all companies
Join lemmy.ml doesn't fill me with confidence that that would work out well.
tankies are fucking idiots and probably feds to wreck the concept of socialism, the US government has a long and storied history of such behavior
Boom.
I don’t know how you divide it up amongst countries but I like where your head is.
Pretty horseshit to act like they trained AI on only American data so only Americans should benefit.
What about the literal entire rest of the world? They get nothing right?
Just another example of America exploiting the world for their own benefit. Even the good ones are so corrupted by their system that they do it without realizing.
The biggest flaw, aside from it having to succeed in our corporate owned Congress, is that it would require these companies to actually make money, and based on the technology we have today, that seems unlikely to happen anytime in the next decade. At least not without some major technological breakthrough. But it’s better than nothing I suppose.
If these fucks which want to give universal income and don't agree to ai companies share it will make them hipocrytes
I see what you're going for, but... No thanks.
This kind of bill is the only way we ever get any kind of UBI and the closest thing to taxes these companies ever pay.
AI companies have to be profitable for that to happen. They're not, and the costs are only going up.
Ew, no, thanks. Feels like he got this “idea” from some slop machine.
Just tax them, regulate them, fine them into bankruptcy, and sue them for crimes against humanity.
Use taxes and regulations to incentivize cooperatives and disincentivize private companies.
Tax revenue and income progressively (starting on the negatives: if you're below the mean you get money), reaching 100% for anything above 100,000$/month for individuals and 100,000$/month/employee for companies.
Scale fines with personal wealth/ valuation, so that they have the same impact regardless of wealth.
Tax and regulate the stock exchange like the gambling joint that it is.
Hold CEOs, boards, and stockholders personally responsible for any crimes or torts committed by their companies.
Nationalise any companies that provide first needs or anything remotely resembling a utility, and turn them into cooperatives.
Tax 100% of any wealth over, say, ten times the mean.
I don't know, there's so many better things to do than spreading this cancer over all the population. All this would do is make it hit harder once the bubble pops.
Bernie got this one wrong
