When it can be proven to think for itself and not regurgitate what it thinks you want to hear. When it steps past lines of code, not as a façade or fascimile, but as its own being with its own goals and its own sense of realised existence.

Assigning ranks based of job role, setting hard limits to work hours, income based on academic performance, pre-set food, bike, car, even cutlery and bedding - all of these things seem to reduce individuality and personal autonomy. It's reminiscent of armies. I understand that there is a whole economy and this is only the starting point, but I would suggest a UBI on top of the UBR so the individual can choose how much to spend on bedding, what kind of cutlery they want, etc. I think it would be too wasteful, time-consuming, and impractical for a government to micromanage its citizens' lives to such extents.

Edit: Forgot to mention but this system would also create a lot of waste. For example, what am I supposed to do with the cutlery I was given as a starter once I want to buy my own? Same with bedding, bike, and I think worst offender being the kei car. Not only would granting everyone a kei car increase car centrism and traffic density, it would be very wasteful because of how many resources go into making a car.

I can see that a lot of thought went into this and while I agree with many points, I also have to point out that this much control over people's lives feels restrictive and authoritarian. Universal Basic Resources vs Universal Basic Income, I do lean towards UBR more, but not the rest of the government restriction. Housing, water, food, healthcare, and public transport are all we need to implement imo.

My suggestions, which I believe are much simpler, are co-op housing, potable tap water, ration cards, and free public transport at the level of the Netherlands. Healthcare, a lot of countries have sorted out so I don't think I'll comment much on - except to mention that I don't believe weight reduction surgery needs to be free.

Is that blood on the ground next to the mound of what I can only assume are dozens of bodies?

I'm not American, and I have been boycotting American, not sure what you mean.
