But what if a decentrilized internet came along that offerd 90/10 split 90% gos to user (,node) and 10% gos to upkeep and maintenance of decentrilized Internet. That alone would change the dynamics of all industrys.

#13I predict that most predictions in this thread will be wrong. Other than that, who the heck knows?
I second that. Even in 3 to 5 months who knows.

#14Greater wealth inequality. More authoritarian policies as climate refugees from the global south put pressure on classically liberal governments.
Less freedom of movement. Most of the Western world living in a surveillance state.
Climate breakdown manifesting itself with bigger and more frequent wildfires, floods and hurricanes. Potentially the first sign of the AMOC collapse.
An economy begining to become untethered from labor. Feudal conditions from a rent seeking class of supranational corporations . Social stratification across ownership: most people don't own anything at all.

I'm intrigued.
A 90/10 split of what exactly? I mean, where does the "100" come from?
I'm guessing you mean some sort of subscription approach? But if node servers make 90% of the money, how would you stop all machines just being nodes? How would you stop larger nodes from dominating traffic?
I think your thesis warrants a lot more detail.

#17I believe there will be a massive shift from a lot of white-collar jobs to blue-collar jobs, as these jobs will be the ones most affected by AI. I believe Western countries will be poorer than they are now, and countries in Asia and Africa will become richer as more money will flow into their manufacturing and Agricultural industries.

I believe the opposite will happen as the post-WWII liberal international order continues to fragment. Countries that have relied on complicated supply chains/globalization (e.g., China) will struggle as the international order fragments and the world can't rely on these things anymore.

#18I imagine it will continue to look much the same as it has for millions of years plus or minus a bit of green, and possibly ever so slightly either more or less smoggy than it currently is.
Oh, you mean like people and stuff? I'd wager there's probably going to be some. They'll probably still be consuming media and conversing in whatever the currently popular format is. There will be work getting done and work that no longer needs doing, career fields emerging and ending.
Kinda pretty much the way it's always been, I bet, you know with the way everything's always changing and yet remains the same.

#19Hotter, with more microplastics and pollution. More extinct species. More counties with nukes. More hungry people. More trillionaires. Less to go around.
I hope I’m in the woods and not in an office.

#20More plumbers and carpenters (or jobs which AI cannot take on, yet).
