>I've never actually _seen_ anyone use an iPad by writing on it I go to a cafe in the university district where a lot of young students hang out and see many hand writing and drawing on their iPads.

Huh, maybe it's a demographic thing; as a certified Old Person, I just tap it or use a keyboard/trackpad case.

That's what I'm saying, it definitely is a demographic thing. Some people want their ipads to replace their paper notebooks to, not just their laptops.

No problem. The AI assistant will have made sure he's not a wrongthinker in the first place. And even if he is, that job is going to be filled by another AI, regardless. All his wrongthing would get him is a lowered UBI rate.

I enjoyed your comment, but just want to nitpick the UBI part - UBI by definition shouldn't have rates - by being "Universal", everyone in the country (or whatever definition of "universe") would get the same allowance defined as "basic". I'm not certain that this is what we'll end up getting, but if we end up with something else, it wouldn't be UBI.

All UBI recipients are equal, but some are more equal than others....
