Unlike most millennials, Norway's are rich

The biggest obstacles to UBI aren't economic, they're cultural. I'm currently working in manual labor as I brush up on front end, and it's devastating to me that my current job and almost all jobs available to me can and will be automated. What happens then, with the majority of people who aren't suited for STEM?

Why do you think STEM can't be automated?

Do you think AI will think by itself, invent new things, and write software in the next 50 years? I don't.

Writing software seems less intimidating than the millions of artists brute forcing for thousands of years the problem space of what humanity considers Art.

I'm just slightly worried that STEM's problems are too close to their base of physics and math to be that hard for a computer compared to the layers of abstraction that go into the rest of our works.

A computer currently doesn't think though as there is no existing general AI. The question becomes what is easier to automate using standard techniques? Groundbreaking discoveries probably won't be automated until you have a general AI. A neural network isn't going to come up with warp drive. Computers already can make really good art.

You don't need a degree to care for elders or run errands for them.
