    And the leaders of these companies are so genuinely surprised at the fact that the people are refusing this technology.

    Sam Altman: “Looking at what’s possible, it does feel sort of surprisingly slow.”

    Satya Nadella: “For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread.”

    Some kind of UBI might be inevitable, higher taxes for large/most profitable companies might fuel it. But that's my idealistic view of it.
