We need to talk about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence
We’re simply not ready.
Humanity is a toddler with a chainsaw. Yes, the chainsaw is a great and efficient tool, but in the hands of a toddler, it’s dangerous.
The current trajectories that I see with humanity and Artificial Intelligence are very mixed, and we are crossing a metaphorical fork in the road. In the immediate future, there will be a small group of people who will get very, very wealthy. This will be the lead up to my predictions for 2035, when there will be 7 major companies controlling AI globally.
A lot of professionals think their current jobs are safe, but many will lose their jobs in 2025 and 2026.
We’re already seeing the beginnings of that in the tech space. All the major companies are quietly slowing down hiring, or steadily laying off employees. 2025 is going to be a hard year for many professionals, specifically because a large chunk of their job will be replaced by AI.
How can you survive these global transitions?
From a practical (short-term) perspective, the easiest way to smoothly ride the transition is to equip yourself with skills that will be very hard for AI to replace in the near future. Manual things like building and fixing (people or things), will continue to be in high demand through any societal collapse. That means that skills in construction, electrical systems, carpentry, power systems (especially wind and solar), will always be valuable, even if you’ve never seen yourself as a “handy” person. The other type of “fixing” you can do is with people: so nurses, paramedics, first-responder type of skills, will also be in high demand as natural disasters and social instability ramp up.
For a long-term view of survival, that will come down to 2 things:
1) Your level of intuition and self-awareness (cosmic or individual), needs to be in tune with your surrounding environment. This skill will alert you of coming danger large or small, even if they’re not very obvious to anyone else.
My experience has been that my ability to be in tune alerts me of unexpected events ahead of time, even if I’m not specifically looking for them (which is usually how I predict things: I have to think about them first to get a visual premonition). Sometimes I get a “pang” a few hours or weeks before, and then something happens that could have threatened my life or the life of my loved ones.
Most people have had this experience of “knowing something is wrong” and not being able to explain what, but without knowledge or skills for how to control it, it’s not something you can rely on. Think of it like developing your “spidey sense” like Spiderman.
Those with more developed “spidey senses” will have a compounding advantage over the next few decades, and based on how I’m interpreting the visuals I’m getting, it looks like humanity will genetically change based on the people who remain. Those people will have more developed intuition and the ability to sense the future collapsed timelines in a reliable way.
From what I can see, the human of 500 years from now, looks VERY different from the human of 500 years ago.
2) Wealth. It’s a historical pattern in recorded human history that the very wealthy are mildly inconvenienced by global catastrophes. So there’s two ways to approach that problem: you can either attempt to join them (which is what most people try to do), or you can re-make the entire economic system of wealth and power (very hard to do, but would actually solve a lot of problems in this type of organised society we’ve decided to build).
So it looks like 99% of people are left with option 1, and that means that those “spidey sense” people from above, have an advantage here too. If you’re more developed in your ability to sense and perceive the future, you will have a FAR easier time amassing enough wealth to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Of course, just having the skill to generate wealth through intuition, will naturally dampen the need to generate “excessive” wealth, because you basically carry the wealth in you, at all times. This has been my experience exactly. Once I could reliably predict the results of games of chance in a casino, or reliably know the winner of major sporting events, it suddenly became much less necessary to amass wealth. I could just generate what I needed, when I needed it.
This is what the “law of attraction” people attempt to do (and mostly fail pretty badly at it), because their approach is based on a misunderstanding of the mechanics of the timelines at play. I’ll leave that topic for another blog post.
Minimalism in all things, has huge benefits. Yes, wealthy people will be the ones to mostly survive the coming shifts in societal order and stability, but those with “inner wealth” (and the ability to generate external wealth at will) will be just as powerful, and actually BETTER equipped to carry humanity forward for the next few thousand years.
What to do now
Friends, please don’t despair. In any global transition, be honest about the reality of the collective trajectory, and simply prepare as best as you can. You already have a magic crystal ball. It’s your intuition, and it can be easily developed further. Artificial intelligence is just another growing pain in the evolution of humanity.
Take care of yourself and eat more vegetables (not only because they’re healthy, but because I see a lot of them going extinct).
Until next times.
