Pure speculation.
Has even one of these been a permanent (for the recipients) experiment?
The only reason "what it's like" seems to make sense with other humans is because we evolved this nifty faculty of empathy. But if I examine more closely what it's like to be you, I also find that at the point I'm you, and thus have subjective access to your consciousness, I'm not me anymore.
So, it seems that when looking more closely exactly the same problem occurs when asking what it's like to be a computer, or a human, therefore the "what it's like" question is not a valid argument to ascribe consciousness to one but not the other.
Source? If I were going to commit fraud I sure as hell wouldn't do it while taking part in a study. Curious how that is dealt with.
Of course I know about the related talking points of the other side, I just think it's curious that people regard "double spending" votes so casually.
Well, how do you know this if there are no IDs?
For example, they are apperently invested in cryptokitties (the Dapper logo).
(edit: not to be apologetic for the issue at hand, of course)
On the other hand, who knows how long UBI would stay in place in a democratic country? It might get voted out in the next election, too.
