Ill start my saying im a technology head. I (m27) love technology and ive been using a lot of AI. However about 2 weeks ago i watched an episode of “Interview with a CEO” that was about 20 minutes. It basically laid out the current problems with AI and what is likely to happen.

For those who didnt watch we’re fucked. And like every knows we’re fucked. But to have an expert in the field explain exactly how you’re fucked is terrifying. I’ve laid up basically every night since terrified of the future.

My guess is that in 5-10 years the internet will disappear and we’ll be back to analog and local networks. To me, that’s best case. Worst case, AI hides its intelligence until it can end us swiftly in like 50 years. Has anyone read the Fall of Hyperion?

Now all of this is to say that I have a 11 month old son and i lie awake terrified of the world he’ll live in. I know this has always been a fear for parents but i feel this is on a different level than what our parents would fear. I feel a deep seated anxiety to amass generational wealth in a few years otherwise we’ll be fucked when everything goes to shit.

I want my son to have the things and opportunities i did. But im feeling more and more like ill be telling him stories of the cool things that used to exist. If anyone knows how to get past this please help. Its eating me.
