Sure, but in general, given enough adequate tools, most people contribute to keeping those things in check. This doesn’t hold if AIs turn out to be “glass cannons”—tremendously powerful attackers, but poor at setting up defences against other AIs—but in that case, well, there’s pretty much no way out.
Full self-sufficiency would require everyone to have a whole productive chain at their fingertips, it just doesn’t seem realistic as something to be achieved before AIs are already incredibly advanced, and there’s a lot of danger from here to there. Besides, not sure it’d be realistic with Earth resources either (nor that everyone would want it; but I guess small self-sufficient tribe-sized communities might actually work a lot better for many people). The worries now concern much more realistic, close at hand scenarios.
“Sure, but in general, given enough adequate tools, most people contribute to keeping those things in check. ”
What are you basing this on?
And the issue is if the contributions will be enough. And not even making and providing adequate tools, but trying to figure out what tools will be adequate in the first place and then after that, getting people to actually use those tools.
Still don’t see what this has to do with UBI.
Society not just spontaneously collapsing under the pressure of the few antisocial types trying to destroy it?

True, that’s all part of the difficulty of this whole endeavour. I explained why I think this is relevant to UBI in the response to your other comment.
