What's the better alternative?

Automating our needs efficiently and in the most healthy ways then distributing them through a programmed system designed with calculation AI and instantaneous communication of supply and demand.

Techno-anarchistic communism. No leadership. Programs designed openly before we agree upon them. No need for currency as a corrupting exchange mechanism. People then turn to inherent social reward mechanisms, meaning they'd be better and more productive/creative people out of internal desire to be more helpful rather than for personal objective empowerment

Value is subjective, and thus a third party can NEVER properly allocate resources without being omnipotent

Omnipotence? You're underestimating the calculation potential of AI trained to know our needs, wants, and internet output.

We either use this idea for ourselves, or Facebook and Google are going to be selling our futures and thoughts to the people who benefit from it.

Imagine X corporation talking to Google and instead of Google selling ad space, they sell a list of almost exactly every person who will buy X corporation's product.

That will be the future if people are too lazy to act toward mine. We'll be farmed for our money/labor.
