With recruitment at its worst, AI God worship thrown into the mix (once Sam Altman and Apple warm their drunken buyers) ... hedonism rife, anarchist celebs and musicians; a non-god ai god situation appears imminent. "Save us from our problems!"
Blocking out the sunlight will produce an atmosphere of hopelessness, combined with perpetual poverty... it's like a recipe, staying awake and sober through it all will test everyone's mettle.
Drone tech should have some major upgrades, along with 3D printing - I can see how LLMs are powering materials science to accelerate us toward that 'last stand'.
I tell you, every week is something new.
Indeed. I would go so far as to say the rate of new erupting has been accelerating over these recent decades, and novelty seems to be prevalent in most aspects of civil society today. While some reckon this updates our society to accord with technological advance, I do not think it has kept pace, and honestly expect gross turbulence to be very disruptive very soon. There will be some that ride the waves thereby produced, but I am sure that few will ride the right waves to the finish from their inception. I expect most folks will be very surprised when calm is restored, because things will not be how we will have expected them to be.
Thanks!
