In the near distant future, AI hijacks the minds of people. We become the product, where ads are sold to us because we are the product. Where our time is the resource of the elite’s money. Where we predate people’s time through addictive social media. Through GMO’s and artifical flavors. Where in the natural world, we would die of natural causes. In the reality of the world, this isn’t the case. So many people are dying premature deaths. Suicides rates are up. Half of the U.S. has pre-diabetes. 1 in 4 Americans have some type or mental illness. 1 in 3 children are on foodstamps. Alot of kids don’t get a good meal unless they went to school.
Where are we in today’s society? Where are we as a whole country? The Opioid Crisis is still going on, not as bad as it was. The first time a bioweapon has ever happened, was created in Wuhan, China. Was COVID-19 natural selection and created from a random mutation? It was created in man made lab. China’s government swears America’s economy can never compete because they have a autocracy. Coming close to $30 trillion dollars in debt, will America ever recover? I hate sounding so pessimistic, but the world does not hold a optimistic future. The canaries in the coal mine, have been chirping since the one degree Celsius has been raised in the world. Affecting every part of the world. Mass hunger and the scarcity of supplies will increase. Basic Healthcare or medicine will be harder to come by. Gas prices will soar before we needed to change to all electric. Billion dollar corporations have helped destroy most parts of the world. Your world can collapse or be more vulnerable. Society’s morals will die. People will be more reluctant to help people in crisis as supplies become harder to find or more costly. Food deserts will become more common. Poverty will be come common. The middle class will replace the dying poor. The rich can either distribute their wealth to help weakened vulnerable communities or they will not have the manpower to run their businesses. Nations will become hostile with each other over supplies, money, control and power. It’s been happening since the dawn of humans. Only this time, the situations are more extreme and severe. Even mother nature will become a force to be reckoned with. We will become victims of supernatural storms and elements. Society is heading towards a spiral collapse of human civilization. Graveyards, jails, and hospitals will become more full as life will become that much harder to sustain. Mass immigration is already on the rise as there are parts of the world that just become inhabitable. Its things that nightmares are created of. Fear, anxiety, pain, loss, depression, sickness, hunger, homelessness, affliction, addiction, become common. Even insanity will become more common. God have mercy on our souls.
I dont fear death. I fear wanting to die everyday im alive.

Well, that’s a lot at once, but to focus in; AI hijacking our brains? Human integration of tech is an area I know a bit about; there is no digital to meat converter, not in actuality, nor on the horizon. AI [such as it is] usually ends up being a bunch of math being doctored up to appear intelligent. [see; https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/machine_learning.png ]
The issue, really, is that computers are good at a type of conclusion that people aren’t that good at. The first computer was a calculator, and all further advances relied similarly on binary logic.
To get in the nitty gritty; When a machine sends a message, the most common method is by a string of numbers converted to binary; on, off. The amount of time and order of operations allows it to translate some information. Nerve cells, doesn’t matter if they are frog, rat or human, send chemical signals, which come in many more varieties. For a computer to talk to a nervous system;
A; it needs a binary to neurochemical converter
B; a transport to get those chemicals to the appropriate nerve cells
C; an effective feedback device to know if the message sunk in, or was randomly dropped, because that happens more than you know in your nervous system.
I’m not one to underestimate the destructive capacity of our species, but this is an area we aren’t near smart enough to even start hurting ourselves. If it was, I’d be closer to digital immortality.
We are already a product of are environment. Consumers, Lamb for the slaughter. Money is more important than Human life in are part of the world… AI. I agree we will soon be replaced. bit by bit.
