Things are growing dark here in the land of the free. It definitely seems as though this is it — we’re going to become a fascist state. Trump is consolidating power and yet…nothing. No protests, no nuthin.
It definitely seems as though in 20 years the US is going to look like a wealthy version of Russia –a legalistic autocratic state. Some successor to Trump will have been in power for close to a generation and that will be that.
And, yet, there is one wildcard — AI.
I just don’t know how AI is going to factor into the end of American democracy. It could be that things will grow extremely dystopian and the US will have something akin to a “social credit score” that is administered by AI.
Talk about dark!
Or maybe AI will help us end the fascist occupation of the States. Who knows. I suppose it could go either way. But all I know is — I really need to leave this country sooner rather than later.
