But doesn't this reduce the required amount of farmland?
- colordrops 21d agoYes, the extra farmland gets taken by the AI companies.
- layer8 21d agoThere is no “required” amount. More gets produced using the same area, using more people, but keeping these people in poverty because productivity per capita doesn’t increase. Instead the gains from the increased volume of production get captured by an elite.

- omnicognate 21d agoWhat corresponds to land in the AI analogy to this?
- layer8 21d agoThere is no direct analogy, the term has drifted since. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neijuan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neijuan.
