Back to the future promised us flying cars, and it turns out they were lying. I trust no predictions.
How will things be? Really rough and really dark, for several decades.
Hopefully we'll all make it out to the other side, and see a (likely transformed) world trying to rebuild itself for the better.
Yes, and then the slow disintegration of the illusion, just like in Blade Runner.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human faceโ forever.
It's unlikely that it will last forever. But it will be extremely painful, so much so that life will seem... I don't even know how to describe it in words.
I'm in the west, so for me probably not very different from today except:
Worse weather (heatwaves, storms)
Better medecin, especially for age related diseases (including aging itself)
AI quite human like in talk (still no robots roaming around)
Robots are too expensive, I think they will only be used in big cities.
Awful. There will be conflict in every continent. There will be genocide against nonwhites in North America; it will start in the USA, then later the Americans will expand it out to Mexico and the rest of Latin America just because. Russia will launch a genocide against various Slavic countries (expanding past Ukraine) and eventually western European countries will be drawn into war. India will finally nuke Pakistan, and will finally kill its own Muslim population like it has always wanted. Africa will come more under Chinese and Russian influence but it won't get better in any country on that continent. It might be more stable if more countries are tied more to China than Russia. Australia and New Zealand will be more under Chinese influence, but it is not a bad thing for them. Millions will die overall, but it won't be a bad thing. Less humans around the better.
Yeah, sure, it'll be fun if you survive and don't die, but I think it's better to go to heaven so you don't have to see the shit that's going to happen in the future and at least stay free, even if it's in a coffin.
Mad Max yo
Let's just add a few more works to Mad Max and we'll get something interesting.
Free energy discovered by 2030, shortly followed by open source ASI, ushering in a rapid and violent redistribution of power and resources, culminating in a worldwide utopia by 2040
Yes, of course, it will look more like a dystopia i think.
WiFi 8
Sitcoms with AI laugh tracks.
Well, yes this is terrible things.
Hungry.
