Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Either way, it's very valuable.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Support me on that.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

So I do agree.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

I think seasteading is a great idea in principle, but it's very difficult in practice to figure that out.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

I think the ocean data center...

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

approach is way better than space so why aren't we doing this if you if you can't do it in the ocean you're not going to be able to do it in space and this is so much more efficient at so many different levels we should just be building in the ocean so i think we're going to see a lot more of this because this is amazingly cyclical uh it'll be it'll be uh quite something so i'm a huge fan of this yeah i'm shocked this hasn't been proposed the elegance of this is amazing yeah

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

You know, I think there's going to be huge backlash and unwarranted backlash because the amount of space, even if you put in a ton of data centers, there's so much farmland out there and so much area.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

But people are going to overreact to this and freak out.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

So we're going to have a pretty strong immune system response to this.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

So I'd love to see the details of this, because when we've seen the data coming from UBI, the more U, the more B, the more I it is, the more successful it's been.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

There was a Finland UBI that failed, but it wasn't universal.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

It wasn't basic.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

It wasn't income.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

So I'd love to see some more data around this to understand why he doesn't believe in UBI.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

I think the AI upside play is really powerful and very important.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Do citizens get income or do you get a claim on AI productivity?

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

I think you need both.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

And getting beyond the UBI gives you the bottom protects the bottom and an upside type of model gives you the upside on that side.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

So the social contract may be less about redistribution and more about participation in that exponential upside, which will be amazing for everybody.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Google's Record Quarter, the White House Intervenes, and GPT 5.5 Silently Matches Mythos | EP 254

Yeah, just real quick.
