Does anyone have any thoughts on the psychological consequences of keeping pace with this rapid technological growth? Should we take a breather and let things unfold, or should we stay engaged?
I often feel compelled to stay informed because it seems like a golden opportunity. Being knowledgeable about the latest developments and seizing the first-mover advantage could open doors to financial gains.
However, I also believe we are nearing a point where capitalism as we know it may become obsolete, rendering our efforts pointless.
So to summarize, I think the question many of us are asking is: Ten years from now, will we regret not having closely followed and capitalized on these technological advancements? Or, will it ultimately be inconsequential, given the potential for a future of equal opportunity and widespread abundance?
Edit: My gut says 🎵“Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.”🎶

I would work on developing a deep meditation practice, traveling indefinitely, creating art, socializing and help others find meaning, and giving back to nature in some way. Number one is to try and contribute to building a better world however that manifests. I think one of the great things about ai is how it levels the playing field. We can augment our abilities to be able to make dreams a reality at a much quicker pace.

I think the bottleneck is the speed at which society CAN change. Put a different way, how fast we can turn the wheels or put into action the technology and innovations offered to us by AI and quantum computing advances. It will be a feedback loop, but it will likely take a bit of time to get off the ground. That said, I think your timeline could very well be accurate, but I tend to think it’ll be more towards the latter end.

I don’t think going inward is a bad idea, but giving up is. There’s potential for this turbulent time to give way to a better world. Why not wait and see what happens and practice in the mean time?
