In this highly dimensional chaos, every outcome is almost as likely. From 'civil war' to 'everyone is chilling at the beach all day', from 'we have robot servants' to 'we are the robot's slaves (possibly without us even realizing)', from 'all prices go to zero' to 'there are robot cars with guns patrolling the streets'.
You can get in a spiral of more and more fear and hopelessness and anxiety, and you can of course go up a solarpunk stairwell.
My advice is to relax and take advantage of what AI can do right now, don't think too much about the future, we have reached the steep part of the S curve, so tomorrow is yesterday as Terrance McKenna says.
I spent most of my free time studying, because now chatgpt allows me to study any subject and I can ask it stupid questions when I don't understand something in a lecture. I literally take a screenshot (with youtube captions enabled) and ask it to clarify, and then watch the video again.
Having youtube and chatgpt is godsend. Having access to Andrej Karpathy and Richard Feynman,
Leonard Susskind and Carl Jung, you can even hear Erwin Schrödinger himself speak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCwR1ztUXtU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCwR1ztUXtU .. what a time to be alive!
There is a saying: its never as good or as bad as it seems.
