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.

on the other side is a better world with inter-species money and truly and totally holistic thinking. Earth is a closed system in many regards. As Buckminster Fuller said: it's either gonna be everyone or no one

Love that and love all the knowledge you are dumping on me. I've been thinking about all this in my own personal vaccuum and that is just foolish. Really really apreciate you helping me to open to other thoughts on these topics. Lots to digest here, but thank you!

my absolute pleasure and don't be too hard on yourself. My sense is that everyone discovers this type of thinking when they are ready for it. There is a before / after discovering Schmachtenberger: changed my world view towards more holistic thinking and esp. seeing the system as it is (not how I want it to be)
