I will start by my answer:
I am scared of the future as hell:
- Big companies seem to win, at least that is what it seems to me right now.
- Humans are becoming less social in a trend that is accelerating.
- There is no one, as far as I know, that is working on a set of rigid AI regulations that will ensure that it limits or control its harms and capabilities.
- People around the world are losing their freedoms gradually with almost no way to get them back.
- Everything around me seems to get uglier, from wars to hunger and it does not seem to be improving anytime soon.
What do you people think?
There’s a certain group of old men, many of whom happen to be running certain countries, whose EOL - natural or otherwise - I’ll be relieved to see, but the fear is that there are plenty of (relatively) young men with similar ideals waiting in the wings, ready to take the reins when the old guard is gone.
Note that I’m not wishing them dead per se, but no-one lives forever. Not even them.
