I just wanted to drop off a voice of cheer here. There is no need to worry about November. Or the $50T national debt. Or Social Security being bankrupt.
If you aren’t going to die of natural causes soon, or have kids, worry about AI.
There is exactly one successful pathway through this next phase in our civilizations evolution and our chances of randomly tolling twelve 60 sided dice all ones matches our chances of hitting it.
Instead what we will have is:
No more middle class. All of those jobs go POOF.
No more upper class but those in charge of AI. Dear MBA’s, Lawyers, Doctors, Inventors etc - you are fucked too.
No more freedom or privacy of any kind. In fact, the AI will build a clone of you in its mental space to decide if you should be eliminated - it won’t even need to surveil you constantly.
Algorithms will decide what you do and think. Who you are. And nothing you can do will stop it. All of society from cradle to grave will restructure itself into “The Narrative.”.
And then, finally, someone will pray to Allah…or the second coming of Brigham Young, or something like that and unleash their destructive civilization ending AI that will just kill us all.
I frankly think most people will welcome the sweet release of death from the AI State by then.
