Uhm, if we are the Generation in which the system breaks we will be the generation with the highest death (and suicide) rate since the great depression. (for example)
Though if I had to pick if my kids had to grow up into either a transitional breakdown and can build it up...
Or
Into a dystopian right wing nazi dictatorship as we see all over coming up...
I'd pick the rebuilding for them
I hardly remember Facebook.... Isn't that these days a retirement platform?
That the death data tells clearly they should have laws like many EU countries have on gun ownership.
Those are not multi purpose tools. Guns are for killing.
It's actually a useful tool..... If it were not too often used for so very dystopian purposes.
But it's not just AI. All services, systems, etc... So many are just money grabs, hate, opinion making or general manipulation.... I have many things I hate more about "modern" society, than I do as to how LLMs are used.
I like the lemmy mindset far more than reddit and only on the AI topic people here are brainlessly focused on the tool instead of the people using the tool.
That... Doesn't sound good.
Facebook is not exactly a trustworthy thing and to have developing countries dependent on it the way you describe sounds dystopian. :/
But dystopian is sadly the theme of the 2020s
