    At lot hotter as much as people want to claim “climate change isn’t real” and “it’s always been this hot”

    I guess the only way to answer that is to ask what things were like 10 years ago and where they are now and then project that another 10 years forward.

    Misinformation will be worse and people will be dumber. It will be a “choose your own reality” type situation where any claim can be opposed with a mountain of manufactured evidence. Institutions like Wikipedia and public broadcasters and the internet archive will be hollowed out and corrupted.

    Financial mobility will be nil. If you don’t get support from your parents then you’re basically slave class. Work an awful job your entire life in order to not starve when you’re too old to continue working. Wealth will be a lot more concentrated and classes will be more ingrained between the haves and the have-nots. A lot of medical interventions like growing new organs will be available to the haves but permanently out of reach for the have-nots.

    Climate Change will have progressed much faster than we predicted (that’s what’s been happening). Mass extinctions and climate change starting to make critical food sources (like fisheries) unstable. Bullshit weather events like drought and flood making broad acre farming unstable. Plastic.

    There are some positives. Advances in medicine, progress towards net zero carbon emissions, DJT probably being dead.

    Not trying to be too dismissive, but anyone in 2019 who guessed what the world would be like in the future was terribly mistaken, at this point I’m just hoping things don’t get too hot.

    AI will have been added to everything, even cardboard and there will be nothing left but to add more AI to AI.

    People online will be even MORE sensitive than they currently are! Don’t ask hypothetical questions, or even THINK about joining a conversation. Everyone will say how wrong and stupid you are without even really trying to read what you typed.

    Ads will be hijacked into any media content through AI. Watching a video essay on YouTube? Ha! YouTube will seamlessly hijack 1 minute of this video and now your favorite essayist will talk about how great Dunkin Donuts is. All without their consent.

    Internet will be truly dead. Nothing is authentic anymore. Everything will be AI slop. If it isn’t AI slop, then it will be injected with AI slop ad reads sooner or later. Some ads will be injected by the service provider. Others will be injected by the web browser. Maybe some even by the operating system itself. Even comments like this one can turn into an AI slop ad read. It reminds me of the unbeatable experience I had the other day in Dunkin Donuts. I don’t know what it is, but something makes Dunkin Donuts that much better. Does anyone know what it can be? IMO, everybody deserves to treat themselves with a little Dunkin in their lives. So good!
