Sounds like it really wants to differentiate itself from the "old kind of socialism"...
Technically he's right that UBI is not socialism; it's basically yet another solution for rescuing capitalism from its inherent contradictions.
And, as with most socialist thought, tends to kick up a lot of cries and moans from the self-professed economists in the room.
I'm enjoying it mightily. You know you're getting close to the truth when people with aspirations of domination try to attack your ideas.
