1/ Are we heading towards a Chasm of Chaos with AI? Someone on X asked for theories of change in the next few years. This is what I see as inevitable before we usher in a potential age of plenty… nirvana. [1-5 years] * AI, Agentic software, Robotics, Quantum tech, and 3D printing see exponential increases in effectiveness. If truly efficient and capable quantum is realized then this timeline accelerates dramatically * All 3 start eating eating away most jobs * Companies race to acquire other companies in their segments to stave off race to bottom on pricing as efficiencies dramatically increase. * Companies that didn't go 💯 in AI die off rapidly * Supply chain begins to shrink * Lack of income decreases global sales * Crypto becomes the defacto payment system

2/ [5-10 years] * Markets begin to collapse * Governments attempt UBI and that works for about 5 minutes * Supply chains start to collapse * More localized & efficient and large scale 3d printing/robotics starts killing mass manufacturing * Shortages abound until can be compensated for locally with printing and robotics * UBI no longer works, because no revenue to pay for it and printing $$ loses power. The race to the bottom dynamic makes it worse.

3/ [Eventually] * All markets collapse * Money loses all value We are now in what I call the Chasm of Chaos. * No leaders taking the difficult steps for a post capitalism existence. * Lots of chaos and suffering in the streets from food and medicine shortages * Most likely violence and crazed cults spring up * Countries will likely invade other countries to secure minerals needed for the tech * Additionally, there is a real chance that the incredible potential of AI is lost in the chaos and we have to rebuild it to get to potential nirvana Think that humans will figure out a way over the Chasm, but much suffering will ensue. On the other side is a nirvana of human existence.

4/ [If Nirvana] * Especially with quantum, most disease and illness eradicated. * Lifespans will be dramtically increased with longevity science driven by AI. * Body part replacements will be common. * Humanity will start looking more and more like singularity predictions, but not required. * Energy solved. Hopefully no one company or country has control over the tech. * Climate solved * Creativity/art explodes. Real life performance and creation become incredibly valuable. * Space travel deep and near becomes normal * Expect there will at some point be a rotation of humanity for a desire to have real life existence experiences. Back to nature, etc * Focus on mindfulness is a likely outcome. * Much more peaceful world with bountiful supplies of everything humans need on demand.

5/ [Keys to successfully getting over the chasm] * Suffering required. Nobody is going to take the chance to implement post capitalism existence until suffering. * Reject centralized AI. If not, then 1 or 2 companies control all of humanity or we lose control of AI and kill us all. * US govt must not be dependent on Grok/Musk for AI. Must be distributed and decentralized. There is a real risk that is already happening. If it does then AI dystopia of the movies is likely. * Avoid world war. Critical that resources are shared equitably or 1 or 2 countries will control all. Governments must secure their own & also work to secure others collaboratively * Humans need to plan now how to transition. If we do we can reduce future suffering. The problem is whether anyone will believe that markets will collapse. * Build up infrastructure globally to support AI. * Emphasis on freedom & independence including with AI. Systems that allow humans their own AI will prevent centralized control of mind & body.

my vision is that we'll be forced to give 50% or more of Earth back to nature to restore equilibrium. Entering nature space will be with some "shield" and only for trained and vetted people who bring back value added insights and experiences. Seeing a real butterfly will become a life dream of our grandchildren.
