📄 Description:

This week on Tech 4 Thought, we zoom out to the big picture: the post-labor economy. What happens when AGI replaces work? We break down bold ideas like universal basic income, AGI capital taxes, and brain-on-a-chip tech that's merging biology with AI.

🧠 From Ireland's UBI pilots to Manchester’s homelessness-focused experiments, we look at real-world trials and what they teach us about the future of income, purpose, and productivity.

Plus, we're diving into organoid intelligence—yep, lab-grown brain cells that play Pong and power wetware computers.

🔍 Topics Covered:

AGI’s economic threat: Wages to zero?

Universal Basic Income (UBI) case studies: Ireland, Manchester, Wales

Cooperative AGI ownership & AI wealth redistribution

Cortical Labs’ brain-on-a-chip technology

Moral and legal dilemmas of bio-AI hybrids

🎙 Reactions, takeaways, and hot takes from the whole Tech 4 Thought crew.
