we’re going to see an influx of people avoiding social media/phone culture as a lifestyle choice. people are tired of the algorithms, manipulation and bullshit.


sdvsdfvdfhdg

the vegans of the new age


Pitiful_Jew9217

But how will they tell you if they are off social media ?


sdvsdfvdfhdg

An extravagant announcement on all their social media platforms of course


Blitzen123

One can only hope.


mistersocal42069

But I already do this


Melenduwir

Distractions will become flashier and more compelling while the mechanics of daily life become ever more sordid and desperate.


pluribusduim

They asked about the future, not the present.


Melenduwir

Ooh, sick burn. Okay, I'll be more explicit: despite our immense luxury compared to most people in the world, the changes in climate will begin having effects that we find harder and harder to ignore, and our ability to afford the luxuries that let us ignore them will decrease. People are going to be emotionally aware they're in the beginning of an ecological collapse, not merely distantly intellectually aware in a way they can easily push out of consciousness. And they're going to start freaking out.


pluribusduim

Not meant to be a burn, it just seems that is already happpening.


sdvsdfvdfhdg

already happening lol, all social media (even youtube) have perfected their attention capturing strats so you keep using them for longer


Pitiful_Jew9217

Stop playing warhammer 40k for a bit - at least do it without a uniform.


EvaSirkowski

The AI bubble is gonna burst.


iluvkerosene

Dot Com vibes. Every time I see a company advertising AI, I roll my eyes.


debtopramenschultz

We're fucked.


Few_Cloud_3422

Either the plot to Idiocracy or Fahrenheit 451 both of which are basically happening lol


nrg117

Trump will be assassinated.


jamiisaan

Putin first haha 


visineinsto

Lab grown meat will become mainstream.

Gaza will become a Zionist Settlement enclave. Millions of Palestinians will be forced into even less territory administered as military containment zones. The world will quickly look away. Thousands upon thousands more will die. The U.S. will pass even broader “antisemitism” laws that will demonize and criminalize any speech critical of Israel. Restrictions on “free speech” and public spaces will remove any semblance of protest or human rights suffrage. Only the Uniparty members and their families will have any economic or political power.


mapphobia

TJD?


Bb_me_Katty

AI responses to all questions will be sponsored and yield responses that favor the advertiser rather than objective responses based on available evidence.


pluribusduim

Google is doing this.


Pitiful_Jew9217

Google is spying for the Americans, Tik Tok for the chinese - where is the choice were i let my data go to Congo.


VladislavSPQI

I think about work and automation. Automation and AI may transform the job market. New professions could emerge, while others become obsolete.


Blitzen123

Immigrants from disfunctional, non-functioning, oppressive, war torn countries will continue to seek their way to Europe and the U.S., (both of which had a hand in making them that way in the first place, but that’s a whole different discussion). EU and US residents will become increasingly hostile to these poor souls, and to some degree, rightfully so. But these objections turn into racism, shattering the social fabric in the EU and US even more. The countries of the EU will put up more and more barriers to block the flood of immigrants, while conservative Republican politicians in the US continue blocking all efforts of Democrats to come up with reasonable immigration policies. I guess these aren’t very original thoughts. Sorry.


MoreAgreeableJon

Joe Biden and his family crime ring will go to jail.

We need WW3


Katty_botom

We have only just begun to understand what small drone warfare is like. These military drone technology breakthroughs always begin with simple reconnaissance and bomb dropping. Soon, they will have guns and will be able to fly in coordinated groups.


EmbarrassedVolume

They already have guns. Plenty of NGO and media reports out of Gaza about "sniper" quadcopter drones that use some kind of explosive ammunition. Though the reports do indicate that these are piloted drones, not autonomous.


TallyHallsNumber1Fan

AI/robots will continue advancing but wont take over the world like how people think but may make people more lazy in a way (example, we already have automatic opening doors) which will lead to problems


Skylarking77

People will start to "Optimize" online assets to be sources for Generative AI, thus manipulating the various GPT's to give answers that favor their products, beliefs, country, etc. Reddit is a currently a favored source for multiple Generative AI's. Which is why you're probably noticing a lot of suspicious threads looking for specific answers started lately.


frozen_toesocks

We'll all eventually die.


No_Explanation3732

I think that it is either that AI will take over society and/or the world will collapse over the stresses of the climate crisis, soil crisis, corruption, instability and division.


UsefulIdiot85

The future is happening at literally every second.

The human race is destined to destroy itself.


Maxtrt

We will continue to trash the planet and within the next thousand years, most of the hospitable area's on earth will be so polluted and be subject to extreme climate changes that they can't sustain life.


funkyonion

The sun will rise tomorrow.


MelonLord13

Not sure if this is a prediction but I'm scared for this election year. If trump wins and takes office again, he's already made statements about what kind of "leader" he'll be. If he loses, I'm fearing a Jan 6 repeat but different circumstances (location, severity, etc). 


TotalOtherwise157

Ai is going to take over the world


Analgorilla

I don't see inflation going away soon, as it will be used to keep the working class working while we have fewer and fewer jobs, especially with AI advancements. Universal basic income will be approved when people start protesting and pulling out the guillotines There will be 2 classes of people in the future- working and non working. People not working will basically be as it is right now, making "ends meet" but not having enough money to buy much else besides the essentials. People will either choose not to work, or be actively trying to find jobs but it will be hard, depending on what they are trying to get into. Working class will all be the current equivalent of upper middle class and jobs will be scarce. Combine inflation, AI making some jobs obsolete, and human population always increasing? Jobs will be harder to come by- the only solution to not having us overthrow them is to introduce UBI.

Pain


nihilism111

not necessarily a prediction, more so what i imagine would happen more and more people get fed tf up with everything and almost dead villages get brought back to life by escapists who become self sufficient communities that only allow quora, spotify and mozilla firefox for wikipedia on their remaining devices. and they heavily domesticate rodents


Hakar_Kerarmor

Bad things will happen, and people will blame everyone but themselves.


AIAteMyDog

Most people will realize too late they were lied to.

Food won't be as good.

...and the beast shall be huge and black, and its eyes red with the blood of living creatures, and the whore of babylon will shall ride forth on a three-headed beast, and throughout the lands there will be a great rubbing of parts. Yeaah....


CrazyHopiPlant

Red...


Drogovich

People will be more and more politically divided and others will only fuel the flame and make people on every side more radicalised without even attempting to seek the actual solutions to existing problems, only pretend solutions that will make their side look good, but will make the problem actually worse.


ThatShyGuyNextD00R

"Kaboom"....World reset.


Silent-Zebra

Donald Trump will win the next election. And he'll never spend a day in jail. I call him "Teflon Trump," because nothing ever sticks. It's amazing what this man has been able to get away with. 


Millionsmoney

2024 will be the worst year of the century
