With the finalization of a deal to purchase Antarctica this morning, AlphaMonopoly officially owns all property on planet earth. The deep learning artificial intelligence program was created by Goozon’s DeepMind six years ago with the goal of learning how to win the Parker Brothers/Hasbro board game, Monopoly. After mastering the board game, the AI began to apply its Monopoly skills to the real world, buying houses then entering the hotel business in Atlantic City, NJ. AlphaMonopoly subsequently acquired all the real estate in New Jersey, then the northeastern United States, followed by the rest of America, before accumulating each square-inch of land on every other continent across the globe. Antarctica, particularly its coastal beach-front property, has become highly valuable real estate in recent years following the melting of the ice caps due to climate change.
AlphaMonopoly also bought all digital property in the metaverse, as well as orbital space habitats and satellites around earth, including both moon colonies. Mars remains the only planet in the solar system entirely free from AlphaMonopoly control. In 2069, Martian King X Æ A-12 instituted the “Muskerian Jihad” which outlawed all artificial intelligence on the Red Planet.
In addition to its property holdings, Goozon (via AlphaMonopoly) owns all earth-based utilities including water works, electricity, and internet access, plus transportation services such as self-driving cars, battleships, hyperloop trains, electric blimps, and rockets. Using high-frequency algorithmic trading, the AI drove the price of all cryptocurrencies to zero, replacing them with its own Alphacoin. Rents, fees, taxes (both income and luxury), and utility bills worldwide have since increased tenfold.
AlphaMonopoly ensures us that, though we own nothing, we will still be happy. If you are not happy, you will go directly to jail and will not collect your 200 Alphacoin UBI.
