Surely whoever bills for Trump's services knows exactly what has been sent so far. Trump doesn't "work" for free.

Paper strips don't depend on anything to persist.
Get that desk fan out of here!!
The history of AI is all about modeling human intelligence, just like the models we have in natural sciences. If the model happens to be a very good match with reality, we may sometimes mistake one for the other. OTOH, they may be the same thing for all practical purposes.
I'm not sure if I have any deeper intelligence than a fancy language model. When we say that LLMs don't really understand things, then what exactly do we mean by understanding? In my personal definition, the meaning of something is simply the graph of its associated things. I consider something very meaningful if the graph has a lot of nodes and edges, and this also explains why simple things gain more meaning as we age.
I think you just described humans. WE are the danger to this world, and provide no value to it
No one eats viruses but quite a lot of species depend on mosquitoes to survive, or eat the mosquito-eaters to survive.
You don't have to kill any mosquitoes, just replace them with a genetically modified version that is resistant to parasites?
Quite a lot of animals feed on insects, and then some carnivores might feed on them.
If you overfish sardines, anything bigger than a sardine may also suffer a population decline, as it is a staple food for lots of yummy fish and also marine mammals..
You could replace "mosquitoes" in that headline with polio, smallpox, measles, AIDS, malaria, or any one of a thousand different pathogens. No one is agonizing over eradicating them.

I think that for most use-UBI-to-deal-with-AI advocates, the premise is that robots will do that, and presumably would already be doing it by the time UBI is enacted.
If this is a problem (i.e. robots can't do it yet, or they can't do it as economically as humans), then you're not in a post-work situation yet, so you can't have a post-work utopia yet.
Keep improving those robots! You're not done until unemployment is over 90%, and ideally not until 100% though that may be asymptotic.
What does *he* envision a hypothetical scenario where AI has taken over an extremely large amount of the labor?
Your question wouldn't make any sense to him or any other Trump supporter. Let me rephrase it so that it can be answered by MAGA.
What does he envision, in a scenario where the people Trump currently steals from, no longer have anything to steal? How does a thief find new victims once the old ones are used up?
I think the best MAGA answer to that, is that someone will own the AIs, and reap the "wages" that the AIs earn. Steal from them, because they'll have something to steal. AI will be no different than anything else which changes the distribution of prey: you just gotta keep up with who and where the prey are.
If people boycotted the expensive software options for one year and slammed the IRS with paper forms, this would be reversed post haste.
If we did that, do you know how much it would inconvenience every House member and Senator?
None at all. Their lives will be as damaged as a bulldozer that just ran over Arthur Dent.
Reforming the tax code will cause some people to pay less tax and some other people to pay more.
Whatever your approach, the people who would end up paying more, think your "reform" idea is stupid and evil. I don't remember all their detailed criticisms, but their overall tone was clearly unfavorable.
They hate it. They hate you. Why didn't you make someone else pay more instead?
Why complain about making it easier for them to give it back to you?
Because when Intuit contributes to my political campaign, they tell me they wish it was harder.
There's little point in this, if manufacturers can obey this law and yet still have maintenance remain illegal due to federal law.
Can I take this as a sign that a major party is rethinking their up-to-now support for DMCA?
"I don't think this extra billion is going to do much if he can't deliver HLS"
Elon not deliver on a technology he promised?! That would be crazy.
"If they have hearings with young men who have been alienated by Democrat policies and actions"
There were no goddamn policies that alienated young men. It's a lie and you're a liar.
