Why not create an AI bank instead so you never suffer the $30 loss anyway?
And we could say turn to the blockchain and smart contracts which market themselves as replacements for both real money and real lawyers, but we saw what happens when real techies write the smart contracts (case in point $150M DAO scam and then a fork of the blockchain itself), so we are definitely going to need to replaces software makers and coders with AI too.

I don't think there's any simple or easy solution to these problems. They're messy human problems with vested interests, and smart people are going to have to work hard, together, to implement even partial solutions. Government and politics are unpleasant and can go horribly wrong. But I've come to distrust all simplistic answers that begin, "All you need to do is X", whether "X" is "privatize everything" or "invent benevolent AI" or "allow the state to wither away in favor of an enlightened proletariat." No, I think we need to work very hard, be smart, and try to find common ground with as many other people as we can. And if merely sort of works, we should count ourselves lucky.
