the "B" stands for basic, as in basic needs, $100/mo would not cover the average americans rent, let alone other basic needs. You're looking for Universal stipend/Guarenteed Minimum Income/Citizens dividend or other related concept

Also, even if you do realise the market is going to become over-saturated, you know that stepping out of that market will only yield space for your competitors. It's better for you that nobody makes that money, rather than that the other guy does, and then buries you in the next cycle.

No question that it's a lot. The cost of a UBI would probably be more though, ($500/month/capita, maybe? $ 2.1 trillion per annum for the USA).

I'm not sure why that's a relevant distinction to make here. A statistical model is just as capable of designing (for instance) an atom bomb as a human mind is. If anything, I would much rather the machines destined to supplant me actually could think and have internal worlds of their own, that is far less depressing.

I guess US. More likely to get blown up, but at least the weather is nicer.
