The world is about to change beyond recognition. Sure people will likely lose their jobs due to AI. With Virtual Reality, we’ll be inhabiting virtual worlds, some people for their whole lives. Others will drop in and out.
Sex will be in the virtual realm. As a result we’ll see the end of physical world relationships, no more offspring, no babies, no kids.
End of the human race?
Probably not.
We’ll be uploading our consciousness to the cloud and downloading it into bots - tailored to our wishes.
Immortality. No need for kids.
Oh and we’ll be merging with the machine pretty soon. Augmenting our brains with AI. All that before we download our consciousness into bots. We’ll have VR glasses, then VR implants. There will be synthetic “humans” powered by AI.
BUT: when it comes to jobs, UBI (Universal Basic Income) would solve the problem, especially if everybody gets about £3,000 a month without having to work for it - with no catch.
Problem there is the oligarchs. Will they resist it? I don’t think they can forever. But they will at first. In the meantime the next few years will be precarious.
