The entire US economy is currently being propped up by growth in the AI/tech sector. And I am convinced that LLMs are fundamentally incapable of delivering on the promises being made by the AI CEOs. That means there is a massive bubble that will eventually burst, probably taking the whole US economy with it.
Let’s say, for sake of argument, that I am a typical American. I work a job for a wage, but I’m mostly living paycheck to paycheck. I have maybe a little savings, and a retirement account with a little bit in it, but certainly not enough that I can retire anytime in the near future.
To what extent is it possible for someone like me, who doesn’t buy into the AI hype, to insulate themselves from the negative impact of the eventual collapse?
Look up free land available for homesteading. There are several states in America that will pay you if you meet the criteria to move to them so that you can homestead and provide agricultural food. You don’t need to be a farmer already, in some exceptions.
Stop using tech that supports or implements AI. Many people don’t like something but still support the companies that do it. Stand on your beliefs and don’t participate.
Start getting into self sufficiency.
