The odd thing is that for all the sci-fi I've read or watched, I cannot imagine such a world. Better said what living in such world would feel like. I recently read a book where an AI goes rogue and tries some nasty things... but that was, you know, fiction... a book you can put down and move on to reading about dragons. It used to be that they were both unreal, AI and dragons... Very weird sensation.

I imagine, in the beginning, the technocrats will sell the population on the convenience of it all -- like they did with mobile phones. They'll rake in trillions of dollars. Add humanoid robots into the mix and tons of the human workforce will be displaced. Hopefully those in power have a viable plan in place to prepare for it all but I'm not confident of that. GenX might just be in the "sweet spot" enjoying the benefits of AI/robotics before things go awry. Tesla's Optimus will be marketed as a household servant, among other things. For $12k-$20k I see a lot of upper-income families buying them. I agree, it is a very weird time to be alive. Kind of exciting too.
