Yup. Political problems irrelevant to the tech. Also a lot more attainable/manageable than an expansive permanent UBI.

That is a quite pervasive thought in the tech industry nowadays: we break everything, let the politics/society/aliens fix it. What would you say if the politics/society/aliens decide to block said tech, stopping the problem at the source? It's not a given, that techbros can do anything with impunity.
