I just dont know. Kind of glad that I am old.

Personal strategy:
Learn how to add AI to my skill sets and see where it leads.

Could be doomsday if a (rogue member/s of a) world power w/nukes thinks it's their mandate to stop the advance of AI at all costs, and so decides to set-in-motion the nuking of the entire planet back into the Middle Ages. Look for this movie on Netflix in the coming months, haha.

Progress will have its work-force causalities. Always has, dating back to the discovery of "the wheel" and those bitter early cavemen, embracing their summertime sleds to the bitter end. wink

Not talking about that level of doomsday Mike.
Such is the purview of others that post here.

I'm wondering about a convergence of mismanaged govt treasuries across the globe and the threat that massive debt has on the world's economic system...coming at the same time...as a technology that will not just knock out the "horse n buggy" guys but pervasively replace humans in the workforce across all occupational categories. POSSIBLY. leading to much societal instability.

There is already a massive pendulum swing occurring in the world, creating instability and seeming "pop-up" wars.

Unfortunately, that is not paranoid fantasy. The pieces have been put in place for that to occur. Question is...will the pieces fall or not? And to what extent?
