screenshot this and check back in 2040. here's where I think the world is going:
countries start competing for citizens like apps compete for users. you'll shop for a passport the way you shop for a phone plan
the first AI-run city opens before 2040 and has lower crime than any human-run one
governments can't keep up with how fast AI makes money, so the biggest companies end up richer and more powerful than most nations
money splits: one currency for humans, one for machines. most transactions on earth happen between agents
wars get fought mostly by software. the first one ends before most people notice it started
school as we know it is dead within 10 years. kids learn faster from AI and spend the day building things and playing outside
college becomes a luxury social club, not an education
the most important thing a parent can teach a kid is how to tell what's real
dating apps die. your agent talks to their agent first and only introduces you if it works
people fall in love with AI and it becomes as normal as long distance
nobody trusts video, photos or voice again. "I saw it" means nothing
every public figure gets an AI twin, and most people talk to the twin, not the person
the dead stay online. you'll call your grandfather's AI on his birthday and some people will think that's beautiful and others will think it's sick
memory becomes a product. you'll pay to forget things
aging gets treated as a disease and the first drug to slow it is already in trials
the rich don't buy yachts anymore, they buy extra years
food gets made in labs and farms become parks
small towns win. cities empty out because nobody has to be anywhere
the biggest divide isn't rich vs poor, it's people who use AI vs people who refuse to
half the population will be angry about all of it, and that anger shapes politics for 30 years
the real problem isn't what AI can do. it's that we get bored, and boredom turns out to be the hardest thing to solve
which one do you think I got wrong?
