I personally hope AI doesn't quite deliver on its valuations, so we don't lose tons of jobs, but instead of a market crash, the money will rotate into quantum and crispr technologies (both soon to be trillion dollar+ industries). People who bet big on AI might lose out some but not be wiped out. That's best casing it though.
"quantum" and "biotech" have been wishful thinking based promises for several years now, much like "artificial intelligence"
we need human development, not some shining new blackbox that will deliver us from all suffering
we need to stop seeking redemption and just work on the very real shortcomings of modern society... we don't even have scarcity anymore but the premise is still being upheld for the benefit of the 300 or so billionaire families...
You said it right here. No one is going to give up energy at such a cheap rate anymore. Those days are over. Darkness for the US is coming.
scarcity isn't real anymore, it is enforced politically for the benefit of the owning class
