Never gonna happen. Next question :)

Im not sure, but there are signs that you have been sold a distorted view of the world. Probably modern media and all sorts of propagandists who prey on people’s fears have caught you on the hook.
Yes, world is not a perfect place. It has its problems, ups and downs. It was always like that.
No. It’s not getting worse and no, you can’t predict the future and long term consequences of your actions.
For example there is a strong argument to be made that if not for nuclear weapons we would currently have massive wars (because no reason to restrain yourself).
While current conflicts (as terrible as they are) are magnitudes less deadly (in relative numbers) than ever before. At least in some parts of the world.
How can you be so confident AI will not create more jobs?
I personally don’t see current LLMs being such a major disruption as steam engines etc before.
But even if it is - I know from history that eventually all economy shifts make humanity better longterm.
Even current standards of “poverty” in some regions are so high that it would look like a luxury for people 200 years ago. Imagine having cheap internet and electricity.
