Realistically, I don't think there's much online browsing you can do with 2GB of RAM. The websites themselves will be as much of a bottleneck as the browser.

By allowing oligarchs to continue owning the means of production (and wealth, control of the state, etc.), whereas workers will have lost labor to withhold.
The oligarchs will give us just enough UBI to not riot. It's going to be used as a bribe to keep them in power. That's my issue with calls for UBI; they permanently entrench class dynamics. Our only (peaceful) leverage as workers to improve our conditions is to withhold our labor. If AI actually succeeds in mass unemployment, we lose that and we'll be forever at their mercy.
