The way I look at it, it’s either going to need some kind of collapse or we’ll all soon live in a techno-feudalist dystopia.
Yes, a major collapse (especially beyond just AI) would likely have unpleasant consequences for most of us. Heck, for me especially - I work in the tech industry. But, increasingly, I can’t see any other way towards a better future. It seems impossible to fix the world while billionaires and huge corporations run the show, destroying the planet in the name of speculative profits. So for me, it’s not wanting to watch the world burn, quite the opposite. It’s more that it has to get worse before it can get better.

This where I’m at. And I’m now thinking that techno-feudalism is where we are headed (and are already TBH). I’ve just seen too many people exhibit gross acceptance of basically this destiny/outcome, to the point that the logical conclusion is the ground work for the transition was successfully laid decades ago.

I don’t want to be to too doomer, but I fear the complacency we or many may have. The lack of a willingness to dwell on what world we want for each other, the lack of values and conversations about them, the consumerism and doom-scrolling ©opium. Including, I’m sorry to say, presuming a collapse/reset is guaranteed. We may just end up serfs (again) because Facebook and Google were just too convenient in 2010!
