Is there anything to look forward to???
I’m an American. Our economy is held up by a bubble, the AI bubble. If AI succeeds, then millions and millions of jobs are wiped out. If AI fails, then the economy collapses. Climate change is still a thing, fascism is here, we’re invading countries, civil liberties are being eroded.

Is my home just going to… collapse?
