8. Alternatively, these individuals might find solace in each other. Similar to anti-work movements, some will reject the notion that meaning is given by one's productivity, finding social structures that facilitate personal bonds and local contribution. Modern urban kibbutzim might be on the rise.

This might manifest in nostalgia for traditional values and a movement to return to an imagined past where things were better. Incels, trad-wives and fascists will continue to increase in numbers. (2/2)

7. Expect an increase in lack of purpose, where most work can be done faster and better by machines. Together with the loneliness epidemic, this will lead to a group of lonely, nihilistic individuals, who will search for a sense of community and meaning. (1/2)

6b. Feeling of abandonment of the general public by institutions who support technological advances that do not necessarily benefit them. 6c. Increased efficacy of disinformation bots that decrease societal cohesion. (2/2)

6. Speaking of misinformation, trust in institutions will continue to rapidly erode. This will be facilitated by three factors: 6a. Decline in trust of visual and auditory evidence. (1/2)

5. Following the artists' struggle, more workforces will try and stall their replacement. Expect more misinformation about AI, but hopefully some regulation efforts as well. There exists a scenario where the combined effort of affected workforces and AI safety advocates will affect the trajectory.

4. Since AI will not saturate soon, this will continue rapidly until a drastic event (hopefully not extinction?) will change its course. Workers will have to continue improving themselves as more rungs of the ladder will disappear under them, and those who fail won't find a new position.

3. Gen AI will cause a bifurcation in the workforce. Those who established themselves in their industries will benefit from a strong multiplier, while novices will have a harder time gaining experience and building up skills. The lower rungs of the career ladder will disappear and be replaced by AI.

2. As a response, the open source community will continue extending to biohacking. DIY insulin, like 1920's moonshine, will become an unregulated common alternative. This might be expedited by the PhD crisis where bio postdocs can't find a position, leading them to take their skills elsewhere.

1. The democratization of digital AI vs lab-bound biological AI will lead to two classes: A lower-middle class who uses digital assistants and an upper class who can afford personalized generative medicine. The wealthy will receive biological care, the rest will consume digital mimicry.

Same goes for most professions. It sometime feels like a race to reach [goal] before AI assistants replace the lower rungs of the ladder, preventing people from acquiring experience in the classical way.
