I will start by my answer:

I am scared of the future as hell:

  • Big companies seem to win, at least that is what it seems to me right now.
  • Humans are becoming less social in a trend that is accelerating.
  • There is no one, as far as I know, that is working on a set of rigid AI regulations that will ensure that it limits or control its harms and capabilities.
  • People around the world are losing their freedoms gradually with almost no way to get them back.
  • Everything around me seems to get uglier, from wars to hunger and it does not seem to be improving anytime soon.

What do you people think?

    my fears are many but they are all tied to one constant: capitalism

    • Modern American fascism is seemingly unstoppable. The legal protections in place have been eroded and the heads of agencies have been replaced with Trump loyalists. Deportation of legal residents is currently happening and the administration is actively looking into stripping citizenship from born Americans. Trump has mentioned several times that political and moral enemies would be targets. Nobody is coming for us. Nobody is going to stop this. The average American has been pacified and made powerless; nobody believes in radical revolution.
    • Every single major AI company has stated their goal is AGI (artificial general intelligence; or what we colloquially understand as actual artificial intelligence) and humanity is absolutely unprepared for it. We have no systems in place to prevent misalignment of AGI agents and our focus of profit above all else will only guarantee a misguided path.
    • Genocide is happening worldwide and the majority of the world is living in poverty.
    • I am a gender, sexuality, and religious minority, and my far left radical beliefs make me a target
