Why Andrew Yang is building instead of waiting for Washington

为什么安德鲁·杨选择亲自创业,而不是等待华盛顿的行动

Andrew Yang’s 2020 presidential campaign was based on a warning that automation and AI would hollow out the labor market and concentrate wealth in the hands of a few. At the time, ideas like Universal Basic Income felt fringe. Now Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Bernie Sanders are all saying versions of the same thing. 安德鲁·杨(Andrew Yang)2020年的总统竞选基于一个警告:自动化和人工智能将掏空劳动力市场,并将财富集中在少数人手中。当时,全民基本收入(UBI)等理念还被认为是边缘化的。如今,达里奥·阿莫代(Dario Amodei)、萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)和伯尼·桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)都在表达类似的观点。

An entrepreneur at heart, Yang has found a new way to put money back into the hands of the people — one phone bill at a time. On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan talks to Yang about his startup Noble Mobile, which pays you to use your phone less, ways to combat the “attention economy,” and what startups can do when the government won’t move. 作为一名骨子里的创业者,杨找到了一种将财富重新交还给民众的新方法——通过每一张手机账单。在本期 TechCrunch 的《Equity》播客中,丽贝卡·贝兰(Rebecca Bellan)与杨探讨了他的初创公司 Noble Mobile。该公司通过奖励用户减少手机使用时间来回馈用户,并讨论了如何对抗“注意力经济”,以及当政府行动迟缓时,初创公司可以做些什么。
