The poster raises an inequality question for the AGI era: assuming US companies build AGI first with China close behind, those countries could fund UBI by taxing AI and robotics companies. But what about countries with no domestic AGI capability? Even developed nations like France, Sweden, and Australia lag far behind, let alone third-world countries like Nigeria — how would they fund their own UBI? A worried take on the global distribution of AGI's gains.
