Honestly, when people start talking about what AI will be in 20 years my concern is really whether or not we will even have an inhabitable* world by then.
I've been reading way too much (not possible but you know what I mean) on the climate crisis over the past week and if I've been talking about an AI bubble that will burst then the climate crisis awakening terrifies me so much more.
My patience for magical thinking is reaching its limits.
*Footnote: Adding this as a I was called out and realised and admit this was a poor choice of words. When I said inhabitable in this context I really meant more of a situation where everyday life is affected in ways that force us to significantly change how we live our lives, obtain food and manage energy sources – making debates about the advancement of generative AI inconsequential, especially given how it adds to the decay.
