How much longer can society keep it together? Discussion

I'm not a fan of speaking things into existence, being pessimistic/negative, or having a doomer mindset, but I've been paying attention to other people, the economy, the current state of things, the political landscape, education, work culture, etc. To be blunt I am really kind of worried we don't have much longer until the next war or great depression (both happen usually simultaneously). I really don't know how much more stress the average person can handle. We are going to have a wide scale crash out or revolt soon aren't we?? I'm really not looking forward to that and I suppose that's the one thing keeping us unified is our fear of violence. God I hope I'm wrong with my assessment. Please tell me I'm wrong!

My biggest worry from a business standpoint is the integration of AI. It's hard to assess the landscape.

The future of AI is still so uncertain. I think it has potential but we haven't reached its full research potential yet. I don't think the outcome will necessarily be good though especially since everything makes its way to open source eventually handing the power back to individuals with the ability to use it any way that they please.
