The pool of displaced workers will just keep growing exponentially, and the solution is to level the playing field.

AI Unverifiable I found this exact wording only on YouCongress, which attributes it to Jeremy Howard and links it to the same YouTube video (`watch?v=Z3jUtZvWLCM`), but that site itself labels the quote "AI Unverifiable." I could not locate a reliable transcript or another trustworthy source that contains the exact wording, so I cannot confirm that the quote is real and verbatim.

AI Unverifiable Cannot verify source URL (YouTube video Z3jUtZvWLCM is inaccessible). The quote's themes (AI-driven worker displacement, need for economic solutions) are consistent with Jeremy Howard's known views — he has publicly advocated for basic guaranteed income in his TED talk and other appearances. However: (1) the exact phrasing "The pool of displaced workers will just keep growing exponentially, and the solution is to level the playing field" could not be found in any searchable source outside YouCongress; (2) the YouTube video ID Z3jUtZvWLCM does not match his well-known TED talk ID; (3) YouTube is blocked so the source content cannot be verified. Vote direction ("for" UBI) is plausibly correct given Howard's known stance. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 3mo ago
