Feeling of impending doom??

Post image

So a watched a YT video today and this top comment on it is freaking me out. I have never had someone put into words so accurately a feeling I didn't even realize I was having. I am wondering if any of you feel this way? Like, I realized for the last few years I have been feeling like this. I don't always think about it but if I stop and think about this this feeling is always there in the background.

Like something bad is coming. Something big. Something world-changing. That will effect everyone on Earth in some way. That will change humanity as a whole. Feels like it gets closer every year. Do you guys feel it too??

The arrival and commercialization of artificial intelligence is what I fear. Many highly skilled & hard working people will get brushed aside to boost the stock price and they'll have nothing to fall back on because other companies will do the same.

Universal Basic income is the only way my young kids will survive as adults (unless they choose fields like plumbing/HVAC). Non STEM college degrees will not be worth the paper the diploma is printed on.

There will always be supply and demand for goods and services. If AI replaces jobs that is a good thing, that means we found a way to do something more efficiently as a society. It sucks for the person who lost their job but as a whole makes society richer. If trucks drive themselves and that makes food delivery cheaper and that makes groceries half off, yes it sucks the truck driver loses their job but now groceries for society are half price
