Humanity alongside Artificially Intelligent Industry

Should we start hoarding land and putting it into non-commercial commons trusts?

It's not a given that land will become super-scarce, maybe AI will invent hardware that can run very efficiently in a physically small space, or in a space station, etcetera. Especially solar panels can probably be put on rafts without much need for land. But it's likely that datacenter land will be valuable for the next few hundred years. So if we prohibit legal persons from owning land, and even better, limit the amount of land one human can own, and if humans then rent out that land to legal persons, that would be an elegant way to provide a basic income for humans once their work is no longer valued enough to "work for a living".

People will almost certainly have AI assistants to make their buying decisions on their behalf.

These will also be able to trade currencies and trustline balances on their behalf.

So this is where personal AI agents can enrich our interactions as humans, for instance the gig economy or meetup.com but also local currencies and p2p credit networks.

These personal agents can also trade via LedgerLoops - in fact they can help enable Ledgerloops as a social tissue beyond the "paid work" economy!
