Maybe in the new simulations you can create others in your own image that you can curse and torment, demand total adoration through a variety of rituals, give conflicting instructions to curry favor, pass harsh arbitrary judgements upon, and see it is good, before you get bored with the whole thing and leave it running unattended while you go off to start another new simulation!

My biggest problem is that the education of our kids at least in Europe is going down the drain so quickly, that the next level of chatgpt has nobody left to talk to. It is a tiktok world, concentration and focus is limited to max 15 seconds, nobody wants to get to their limits, the new religion is vegan or vegetarian and work life balance, diversity in all dimensions and saving the world of its ecological doomsday. No brain left for this.

This doesn't require VR, we can do all of this with regular monitors. For as long as I can see (not long) the choice will depend not just on application but on personal preference.

The rest of the prediction I agree with. At least until the very end- this could be wonderful but I really don't think that's predictable at this early stage. It could be pretty bad.

I don’t think the elite would be capable of taking on the entire rest of the world with any technology. That’s never been the case in all of human history, offensive power has always been distributed one way or another. Even in North Korea Kim Jong Un has to please his military to remain in power. Not to mention the 1% isn’t willing to genocide everyone else, that’s just ridiculous paranoid fearmongering.
