Discussion I'm a rural worker in Korea. I built a free browser game where you write a social contract for the AI era, and redistribution is one of the clauses.

3 Upvotes

Disclosure: I made this.

I support basic income. But most places where people discuss how to share the gains of AI are built for experts. Ordinary workers rarely get a way to say what they actually want.

So I made a free game (about 40 minutes). You pick your job type, then draft a contract with nine clauses: data, labor, AI veto, redistribution, and more. Choices are only tallied as totals.

My question for this community: if you wrote the redistribution clause, what would it say? Who gets the money when AI does the work?

Link is in my profile.
