OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has proposed a new concept called “universal basic compute” as a way to support those facing financial struggles in the rapidly advancing tech world. Altman envisions a system where individuals receive computational resources that can be utilized, sold, or donated, similar to owning a piece of productivity. He previously supported the idea of universal basic income and conducted his own experiment offering monthly payments to thousands of participants.
