one day we will wake up and find nothing works and all the electrical power is down. AI will be using it all, but the irony is, we won't be able to get on the net to hear its commanding words.

I still maintain that at some point, artisanal crafting and makers will make a resurgence.

as we further degrade as a nation and we stop importing important things, no big corporations will be created because AI will glom all over them. you will see regional work people creating the things we need.

basically, a 3rd world economy of barter and favor.
