Yep. Tax the resources that capital needs to produce the stuff. This is just a simple way to think about how we think about tax regimes etc can evolve.
We're already there. Most of us have jobs that are just made up to fill the gaps after steam power and automation. In the future, we'll have jobs that fill up the AI gap. It's UBI, but more arbitrary so we can tell ourselves we're useful while group X is not.
Through extensive data harvesting, and exchanging and partnering across thousands of such data miners, I suspect that by now, the graph of identities and fingerpinted devices must be practically complete. That means that all your actions on the internet can be tracked back, via device fingerprinting and cookie networks, to your physical identity. Great milestone for the surveillance states.
Because they have too many free users that will always remain on the free plan, as they are the "default" LLM for people who don't care much, and that is a enormous cost. Also the capabilities of their paid tiers are well known to enough people that they can rely on word of mouth and don't need to demo to customers-to-be

Hence the egregious exaggeration of the title. Even large fractions of the population dying != "Bye Bye Humanity."
Jobs are the only way that you survive in this society (food, shelter). Look how we treat unhoused people without jobs. AI is taking jobs away and that is putting people's survival at risk.
