While I obviously need to read more about basic income to have a better opinion of it, the current scale of these "basic income experiments" seem too inefficient to gather any results. The very idea that we need basic income is really weird, since it means taxes would need to be higher, but also limits the expenses of people.

I still have to see people trusting a self-service kiosk in Brazil.
A lot of automation happens well before the customer-facing ones that we often see in the media. And based on how major banks rolled out ATMs like 25ish years ago, the end user will have no say...
