According to ChatGPT (sorry!) Give me a summary of `Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[indent="0"]')).map(a => a.parentNode.querySelector('.commtext').innerText).filter(a => a.length > 10 && a.length a.replace(/reply$/, '')).join('\n');` «These predictions discuss various expected events and developments in the year 2023. These include the rise of robotic beings and the end of human rule, changes in language and…
- Tech jobs at FAANG no longer look attractive or stable. Google hits the final nail in the coffin (not necessarily involving the layoffs) - The age of smart assistants is over - Microsoft will make a huge mistake involving Windows -> governments and companies start making concrete transition to MacOS and Linux desktop (start in late 2023) - The all of above leads to a revolution of smaller companies, their boom, inn…

Crypto (btc/eth) will continue its downtrend since the Matt Damon peak. Bitboy will end up under inditement.
US housing market averages will bleed out slowly and be getting to point of stabilization this time next year. APPL will stay around 140 most of the year.
US GOP will run Desantis or cruz. No idea what dems will do.
My predictions for 2022: 1- The US economy and the USD will keep declining. 2- In various EU nations, certain religious people will cause unease and there will be numerous attacks. 2- The world's perspective on two-headed hybrid regimes will soften and begin to accept it. The chinese type system will continue to be adopted by nations in Asia and the Middle East. 3- After July, there will be another brief cryptocurren…
1. A breakthrough in "deepfake voice" is made that can emote convincingly. It is used to add Marilyn Monroe or James Dean to a TV show or movie. A US supreme court challenge to the admissibility of audio recordings is begun, after a murder case is thrown out due to evidence being shown to be an audio deepfake. 2. A single climate catastrophe-linked weather event causes tens of thousands of deaths. Governments pledge…
1. Deglobalization accelerates as the Bretton woods organisations become increasingly irrelevant and trade moves to being bloc and region based. 2. The web continues to fracture into separate Euro, Sino, Russo and Americano nets due to increasingly different views in privacy, surveillance, freedom of speech etc. SV companies are slow to pick up on this. 3. Tech layoffs in the Bay Area intensify. When hiring begins ag…
Globalization will always be too tempting to ignore when some countries have labor costs that are ten times lower than others. Large companies will continue to have enough political power to veto the laws that would be required to reverse globalization.
- USB 4, Series D will be defined, with 3 possible orientations, one each for display, power and data transfer - Saudi Arabia will release an ethical standards requirement for each of its Western tech company holdings. The exact definition will be confusingly progressive, which will put everyone on guard. - Google will cancel the Search product, with a press release that expounds beautifully about the future. They cl…

- More gentleman layoffs at Google - At least 2 rounds of hard layoffs at Amazon, plus gentleman layoffs. No more Bezos billion dollar Prime Video projects. Shedding at least 10-12% of white collar work force to signal to the market they’re trying to prop the stock - The economic hard landing - Disney stock will fare much better under Iger - Additional rate hikes from the Fed, at least 100bps but maybe 150 - Twitter…

* At least one of the next phase of FAANG companies is founded by folks that were part of this layoff cycle. * GPT4 blows everyone's mind and is a full step above ChatGPT * A giant leap happens with self-driving cars, making them finally viable. * Meta continues to implode, Zuck is forced out or brings in someone else to act as CEO. * Elon gets bored of his new toy (Twitter) and moves on to other things * Car product…
