What is the Future with AI?

Revealing the implications of AI in society.

001 / Introduction - Aug 25, 2025

We’ve got work to do. Actually, you have work to do. 

I will explain societal changes using history and research in a way that's easy for everyone to understand, like a mother or a child, so they can fully grasp what's happening. I've realized that starting with too much background information makes my explanations unclear.

My near term objective will be to plot our social transition at ethnology.ai while I build user stories for the development of sharewith.ai

Future Objectives

• Identity Support Groups - your utility and livelihood taken, support groups that are also training groups for like minded professionals with similar backgrounds looking for new trades and professions and community.
• Become Vocal Local - A library of map-level local resources that allow you to interact with and connect with local people communities, business, and groups. 
  
• Market Transition Projects - Ways to accelerate and navigate labor and financial collapse.
  
• Predictable Regime Lies - an index of what policy makers will lie about. 
  
• The Forecast - psychological based projections of the future based on our model.
• Risk - Focused on the real risk from cognitive security and reality dissolution.
• Artifacts - open research that contributes to our understanding.
  
• Projects - ShareWith, EndWork, etc etc
  
• Events - Online meetups and open labs

The Future WITH AI: 100 Critical Points for Understanding Our Transition

1. Human professional work has been systematically reduced to pattern recognition and binary decision-making over the past two decades.
2. Most knowledge work now consists of interacting with interfaces, processing information, and making sequential decisions based on learned heuristics.
3. Every professional role can be decomposed into a finite set of tasks that follow predictable patterns when observed over time.
4. Screen recording, voice narration, and click-stream data capture the entirety of most professional workflows.
5. Three months of comprehensive recording across 500 professionals in any field provides sufficient training data for replacement systems.
6. The technology for this replacement exists today - it requires only screen recorders, voice capture, DOM tracking, and language models.
7. The bottleneck is not technological capability but organizational will and market coordination.
8. Companies closest to AI development will replace their own workers first, creating competitive advantages that force market-wide adoption.
9. The replacement will follow Theory of Constraints logic, targeting roles that slow organizational value streams.
10. Working capital and operational efficiency demands will accelerate adoption regardless of social consequences.
11. Most professionals are unaware their work has been systematically reducible to algorithmic processes.
12. The complexity people perceive in their work is often just unfamiliarity with the underlying patterns.
13. Creative work, when examined closely, follows predictable response patterns to stimulus-preference combinations.
14. Even high-level strategic thinking operates through documented frameworks that can be systematically applied.
15. Professional identity is largely built around mastery of these now-automatable pattern recognition systems.
16. The transition period will be characterized by humans working alongside their eventual replacements.
17. Quality evaluation of AI performance will initially require human oversight, creating temporary hybrid roles.
18. Market forces will determine replacement speed more than technical readiness or social preparation.
19. Early adopters will gain decisive competitive advantages, forcing reluctant organizations to follow.
20. The question is not whether this will happen, but how quickly and under what social conditions.
21. The consumer economy depends on workers having income to purchase goods and services.
22. Mass unemployment will create a demand crisis that undermines the entire economic foundation.
23. Debt-based financial systems become unsustainable when employment disappears as an income source.
24. Real estate, mortgages, and credit systems all assume continued employment-based income streams.
25. Business-to-business services collapse when businesses no longer need human-dependent services.
26. The land surveyor example illustrates how interconnected business ecosystems will unravel.
27. Luxury consumption by tech elites cannot replace mass-market demand from employed workers.
28. Financial markets built on employment-based consumption patterns will require fundamental restructuring.
29. Current wealth concentration mechanisms accelerate system instability during this transition.
30. Supply chain disruptions will ripple through industries as demand patterns collapse.
31. Essential services will need new funding models when tax bases disappear with employment.
32. The distinction between "essential" and "manufactured" needs will become critically important.
33. Inflation or deflation will be used as tools of social management during the transition period.
34. Interest rate adjustments represent attempts to control social behavior rather than just economic variables.
35. Asset values will fluctuate wildly as fundamental assumptions about future income streams change.
36. Insurance systems fail when risk models no longer predict human economic behavior.
37. Government fiscal policy requires new models when employment-based taxation disappears.
38. International trade relationships will destabilize as domestic employment markets collapse.
39. Currency systems may require fundamental redesign to function in post-employment economies.
40. The entire concept of "economic growth" needs redefinition when human labor becomes unnecessary.
41. Professional identity collapse creates existential crisis for individuals whose self-worth derived from work.
42. Social status systems built around career achievement lose their organizing power.
43. Daily structure and purpose, traditionally provided by work, disappears for millions simultaneously.
44. Community connections often centered around workplace relationships will dissolve.
45. Intergenerational knowledge transfer breaks down when career paths become obsolete.
46. Educational systems lose relevance when their promised outcomes no longer exist.
47. Anxiety and depression will increase as traditional meaning-making systems collapse.
48. Social isolation will intensify as shared professional experiences disappear.
49. Family structures strain under economic pressure and loss of traditional roles.
50. Geographic mobility patterns change when location-based employment becomes irrelevant.
51. Urban centers may depopulate as proximity to jobs loses importance.
52. Crime and social unrest increase during periods of mass economic displacement.
53. Political systems face legitimacy crises when they cannot provide economic solutions.
54. Scapegoating and social division intensify as people seek explanations for their displacement.
55. Media narratives will attempt to manage public psychology during the transition.
56. Religious and spiritual movements may experience revival as secular meaning systems fail.
57. Substance abuse and escapist behaviors increase during periods of systematic disruption.
58. Interpersonal relationships suffer under financial stress and identity confusion.
59. Generational conflicts emerge as older and younger cohorts experience different displacement patterns.
60. Social trust erodes when traditional institutions cannot address the scale of change.
61. The information landscape becomes weaponized during periods of systematic transition.
62. False narratives spread faster than accurate information about the nature of changes occurring.
63. People seek simple explanations for complex systemic transformations.
64. Media systems profit from engagement rather than truth, amplifying anxiety and confusion.
65. Social media algorithms accelerate the spread of panic and misinformation.
66. Echo chambers prevent people from developing accurate models of their changing reality.
67. Propaganda becomes the dominant form of communication rather than information sharing.
68. Critical thinking skills decline under stress and information overload.
69. People become susceptible to authoritarian messaging during periods of uncertainty.
70. Conspiracy theories provide false clarity in the face of genuine systemic breakdown.
71. Information gatekeepers lose credibility when their predictions prove inadequate.
72. Traditional expertise becomes suspect when experts cannot navigate the transition.
73. Social proof mechanisms break down when reference groups are also experiencing crisis.
74. Narrative inertia prevents adaptation to rapidly changing circumstances.
75. The distinction between truth and utility blurs during survival-focused periods.
76. Individual psychological states aggregate into collective social phenomena during stress periods.
77. Panic behaviors spread through social networks following complex contagion patterns.
78. Small initial disruptions cascade into system-wide failures through interconnected dependencies.
79. Financial markets cannot price assets when fundamental economic assumptions change.
80. Credit systems collapse when future income streams become unpredictable.
81. Supply chains fail when demand patterns shift faster than logistics can adapt.
82. Institutional responses lag behind the pace of technological and economic change.
83. Policy interventions often worsen crises by addressing symptoms rather than root causes.
84. Social movements emerge but lack coherent visions for post-transition organization.
85. The pace of change exceeds most people's ability to psychologically process and adapt.
86. Local food production becomes essential as global supply chains prove fragile.
87. Community-based resource sharing reduces individual economic vulnerability.
88. Non-monetary exchange systems provide alternatives to failing financial markets.
89. Skill sharing networks maintain human knowledge outside formal employment systems.
90. Cooperative ownership models offer alternatives to traditional corporate structures.
91. Regional resilience networks reduce dependence on global economic systems.
