| Positives: - Major breakthroughs in robotics research thanks to ultra scalable simulation software and RL - AI will become even more useful in daily life - New drug discoveries or successful stage 3 clinical studies related to / similar to GLP-1. Also in longevity research. - Renewables will get even cheaper - Creators will thrive with all the new AI tooling - Government services will become more digital (at least in Germany) - The war between Ukraine and Russia will end - Interest rates continue to fall, causing an uptick in housing buildup - The EU finally takes a harder stance against uncontrolled migration with concrete measures that will bring numbers far down. Negatives: - Societal loneliness will continue to accelerate - People will use their brains even less, thanks to more widespread LLM use - the Nazi party in Germany will become the majority in two states (but won't be able to govern them) |
I was hoping that plumbers, electricians, construction, factory workers still had another 10-20 years before being priced out of the work pool.
I was also hoping we had that much time to use threat of mass protest to keep our politicians aligned.
I genuinely think it's game over for 99% of humanity's interests once the top wealthiest individuals and/or their governments can simply deploy robots en masse.
