RE: What do you think of the concept of the ownerless "benefactor bot"?
I mean sever unequal distribution. Think African dictatorships. Societies with a strong middle class do the best socially.
If the top 1% has 99.5% of the wealth how does that lead to a fair economy. This is currently the issue with steem being so low. Dan is selling Steem like mad in huge quantities and he will be keeping it low until he has divested his interests which still equal millions of Steem. (3 days ago he divested 50,000 Steem but was doing much larger volumes previously when the price of Steem was better. )
For every wealthy billionaire there is on this planet how many more poor people are supporting that billionair's lifestyle? It most definitely and exponential curve and for what? Once you accumulate a certain amount of wealth your lifestyle no longer changes that much. Certainly not to justify the other people that you are keeping in poverty.
Not everyone in society has a benefactor. Oppressed groups could be given the benefactor in the form of these bots. This could mean the descendants of slavery in the US, or the native Americans, or immigrant groups who are minorities, anyone who has been historically oppressed.
It's not made to be "equal" and it's not communism. It would be perceived as "social justice" by means of capitalism and AI. Of course law enforcement and others might perceive it in a different way perhaps.
