    Pocket change. They should stocks. Everyone should get stocks considering AI is trained on everyone's data.

      They'd probably lose money on the stocks with the way things are going. It'd let the owners offload risk. The residents are free to use the money to buy stocks if they want to.

        If the stocks lose value then nothing was really lost, since it would mean AI is a bubble and not much will change. This would be to offset whatever impact AI will have. The more it succeeds the more people get paid. Not saying it's a good idea, but I do think it's better than UBI.

          Not much will change for the internet. The town will still have to deal with polluted drinking water and chronic asthma.
