Seems like if we want to avoid dystopia, our options are:

1. Full-blown socialism

2. Georgism

Georgism may have been right all along!

Given that rich people often push Georgism, it looks like a trojan horse. Only rich people will be able to afford land.

3. Push back against AI, do not accept it as inevitable. Treat it like cigarettes or leaded fuel.

That's literally the problem Georgism uniquely solves. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

Georgism solves for land not being used productively. That means it isn't economical for rich people to hoard land, but it also means that it isn't economical for poor people to hoard land. The difference is that rich people can take that land and start doing something productive with it (build large-scale housing, a factory, farm it, etc.) Poor people can, at best, only afford to hoard it — which Georgism puts a stop to.

Only rich people can afford land now. The exception is some uninhabitable patches that would require you to give up your livelihood, except for the small amount of people who can work remotely and they can afford land already.

georgism would make owning property, such as ai, very expensive. it is a way of ensuring that rents get recirculated back into the rest of society

Rosa Luxemburg was right all along.

Our two options are socialism or barbarism.

Full-blown socialism is pretty dystopian.
