If we're going to take the profits of automation to pay for UBI, we should just socialize the automation. Contained within this technology is the entire history of human science, engineering, and technological progress going back hundreds of years -- it should be part of the commons, not owned by a handful of corporations and private sector entities replacing their human workforces (who helped make them rich) with it. In our current system, all the wealth generated from automation will go to who whoever owns it and presumably replaced their human workforce. If this happens and we do nothing, we will devolve into some kind of neofeudalist system where the progeny of whoever once owned the automated factories inherit the productive forces which generate most of society's wealth, so they can horde it all for themselves while the rest of us have to rely on a concession like UBI. That's clinging onto capitalism when it makes absolutely no sense to do so. If automation does eliminate most or a non-trivial amount of the workforce, transitioning to a decentralized planned economy, however gradual, where the means of production (ie: automation) are collectively owned by all seems like a no brainer. If we can model the Big Bang or global climate systems in a supercomputer, we can leverage the same sort of technology to democratically plan our economy. Edit: thanks for the silver!
