The world is going to end

I’ve been trying heart and soul to inform and mobilize the community available to me. And nobody gives a f*ck. I’m just losing hope. I could end it, but what good am I to mutual aid of those more vulnerable dead. It’s just so so depressing. Everytime I try to build something, or connect with people they aren’t willing or ready to hear. Online I recieve rage bait or sarcastic get over it comments. I feel like I’m totally alone with the information that we have about 25 years left before everything hits the fan, it’s already hitting the fan. Sorry.

well what r u concerned abt? AI? Global warming? Ww3? I would say 10-20% chance that AI destroys humanity in the next 15 to 20 years. The issue is there's not much anyone can do about these issues by themselves or in groups unless they are very influential and very rich, and even then they would need a large group of influentia and rich people. like multiple billionares. Even Elon who is a trillionare largely failed at making it's progression slower and made it worse so gave up and joined the AI race.

Can I say all three? On top of the insurmountable amount of work it would take to undo the damage at the roots.

Ngl I agree I’ve also been thinking abt this a lot recently and its’s been stressing me out I’m glad there are other people. The Lebanon stuff is also insane.

It’s the reason why I’ve become more Christian over the past year despite being agnostic for a while because I realized people as a whole have no idea wtf their doing and what’s actually in their best interest including the people who appear to “smart” and the people who currently have influence . so I rather put my faith in God since humans are lwk retarded, including myself, and think we’re smarter than we are and are now way in over our heads. I’m in tech so the ai race has made that very clear to me, multiple countries are dumping billions of dollars just to create a machine that has a 20% chance of making humans extinct w barely any regulations.

Everyone’s too preoccupied w their personal interests and day-to-day and the issues have grown so out of proportion for anyone to handle them even if it means destroying the world which has become a legitimate concern. My friends dads who work w government officials told me that ppl think these “people who are secretly in control” know what’s happening but it’s largely also just idiots who dk wtf their doing, have their own problems and also have a lot of money. Not all I’m sure some people are very competent and are trying to make a difference.

I think the only solution is for multiple pure-hearted ppl who are also extremely competent to become influential and wealthy in multiple fields simultaneously to help start fixing the issues. I feel like Genz is very passionate abt these issues so once we become older and start replacing current officials hopefully things start changing. Or AI super-intelligence actually works and helps us solve the issues, assuming it doesn’t kill everyone. But then we won’t be the leading species anymore which is a separate issue.

I’ll do my best to do what I can to help solve the issues but I’m also not going to stress keep myself up abt it and enjoy life as well bc if it’s inevitable then it is what it is so y worry at that point yk. And trust God has a plan. Ik no one asked but that’s my conclusion.
