I've thought about it. AI, and the bots will eventually do everything better than humans.
So, the question becomes, what do humans do? Sure, basic income is great, but I think people want at least the illusion of working and being productive.
So, how do you solve this problem? You create competitions. In this future a person gets a minimum amount of money simply entering a government run competition.
People will be given a certain amount for being in a competition.
Every day there's one competition you can enter.
Everyone gets a minimum of $50 for simply entering, and "competing"
The better you do in a certain competition, the more money you get.

There will be many competitions to choose from. One of these is hopefully classic gaming competitions.
Perhaps classic gaming gets a resurgence when this becomes a reality 30 to 150 years from now?

Sure, could happen 30+ years from now.

Just don’t get your hopes up because that sounds a little bit like socialism and we know the corporate media, corporations, and billionaires DESPISE it (as do the brainwashed commoners who absorb their propaganda).
