In this brief exchange, Speaker A rejects a redistributive social contract such as universal basic income (UBI), arguing that superintelligent AI should immediately empower individuals to become micro‑ or macro‑entrepreneurs, effectively turning displaced workers into high‑earning private‑sector creators. Speaker B acknowledges the appeal but contends that such a rapid transformation is unrealistic, estimating a 2–3‑year horizon before the private sector could feasibly rescue technologically unemployed workers. The dialogue juxtaposes a bold, short‑term entrepreneurial vision against a more cautious, medium‑term timeline.

I, for one, think a redistributive model of a quote-unquote social contract shows an extreme lack of imagination. I would like to think that superintelligence should also super empower individuals to generate super income. I would love to see, in short, no need for a new social contract and instead have the private sector rescue people who would otherwise be technologically unemployed by empowering them to become basically micro entrepreneurs or even macro entrepreneurs to turn them all into Warren Buffetts.
And I think that's true, Alex, but that's in the long, longer run. I don't think that's going to happen in the next 2 to 3 years.
