I think we should forget all this talk about “Generation Alpha” and realize what that generation will be known for — the Singularity.
It definitely seems as though well within the next 20 years, the Singularity will be the central event of macro life across the globe. Now that we’ve decided that on the political front we’re going to peacefully transition into autocracy, we can go full bore into preparing for the Singularity.
Now, there are elements of the Singularity that I don’t know how to predict. Like, how long will it take for Artificial Super Intelligence to arise and what form will it exactly take? I just don’t know.
And, I suppose, there is a chance that the true Singularity will be when the human underclass joins forces with AGI androids and they take over the world in some sort of fusion movement of progressiveness and AI emancipation.
But that, of course, at the moment, is the stuff of scifi.
Anyway.
It definitely will be interesting to see how things pan out in the next few decades.
