    Nothing too drastic will occur. It never does. Tariffs will go up. Things will get more expensive. Rich people will be taxed less the middle class and poor people will be taxed more. There will be another wave of systemic racism perpetuating through American society.

    Marijuana will become less legal. For some reason the Republicans still have a thing for weed…

    The bottom line the man is 80 years old. It’s very possible that he just may step down at some point, which would probably be worse in the long run.

    Israel will get significantly more support to wage genocide and Ukraine will get significantly less support to defend their own country. Trump will push for some sort of concession that Ukraine will give up some of their land and enter into some kind of agreement that they won’t request entry into NATO for a long period of time.

    Longer prison sentences for relatively minor crimes…

    Hardened anti-abortion rhetoric will continue to work against women simply trying to make medical decisions instead of potentially getting abortions.

    Basically the same thing that’s happening now in the country. Just more of it.

    There are currently no laws indicating how many work days should be in the 7 day week.

    There is no reason to implement such a thing either to take work days away or add them. Work days are dictated by the employer in accordance with how much work needs to be done.

    How much someone should work should be negotiated between employee and employer. I understand that this isn’t really how it works in the real world but this is how it is on paper.

    I bring this up because there’s no real way to institute a nationwide “7 day work week” making this question totally pointless and nonsensical.

    There’s no reason to assume that AI will be malevolent.

    I also said it would be equivalent to other important events throughout human history.

    For example, I believe the discovery of agriculture is one of the most detrimental things ever that happened to humanity. Doesn’t make it any less riveting.

    If you do not understand or don’t want to understand the implications of a fully realized artificial intelligence then you are simply willfully ignorant or want to be intentionally contrary.

    Either way when our ai overlords take over the earth your name won’t be in the protected scrolls. May God have mercy on your soul.

    The applications of what you call ai are absolutely limitless. But to be clear what you’re calling “AI” isn’t AI in terms of what you might want it to be what you’re referring to are large language models or LLM’s. Which aren’t ai, not yet.

    It’s short sighted statements like this that really get my blood boiling.

    If humanity actually achieves artificial intelligence it’ll be the equivalent of the printing press or agriculture. It’ll be like inventing the superconductor or micro transistors all over again. Our world will completely change for the better.

    If your interactions with these llms have been negative, I can only assume that you have a strong bias against this type of technology and have simply not used it in a way that’s applicable for you.

    I personally use llms pretty much daily in my life and they have been nothing but an excellent tool.
