WAKING UP TO 2024
Imagine you got into a coma in 2019 and just woke up in the year 2024. What a wild nightmare would that be? First you learn that there was a global pandemic that literally split apart the entire world, caused a chaos beyond your imagination, killed millions along the way, caused riots in massive scale, locked people into their houses, costed millions of people their mental health, their jobs and even turned some into homeless. And could you even imagine that this whole drama would result in a global chip shortage and would make technology advance 10 years further in only a single year? Oh, and also rich got even richer, poor lost whatever tiny comfort they already had. And you also would realize that it is now near impossible own a property because some whales have bought them all and now they are strangleholding the entire society.
Before you were in a deep sleep, majority of the world were tech illiterate but now your great grandma owns a smartphone. Because it is impossible to survive without one. At certain times you couldn't leave the house without your phone and showing law enforcement a QR code that proves you have been vaccinated. My country at the time developed an app you simply had to use to even enter large shopping malls. They turned the entire population into livestock without even using subdermal chips like all the lunatics claimed vaccines had. And of course the whole stupid app got hacked and millions of citizens got their data leaked onto the internet.
Maybe your whole relationship with AI was shooting some Counter Strike bots in the head but now you are terrified of machines. Could you even imagine seeing photorealistic images created purely by AI? Only if you were balls deep into technology back in 2019. Back then chatbots only answered simplest of questions like "What is the weather like today?" but now they can code an entire mobile app from scratch with only a few simple prompts. AI will not only steal your job and your identity, it will also steal your girlfriend. Just wait for HenryCavillGPT 3.0, they say it will come with a mechanical dildo that runs in 21.000 rpm. You also would realize that internet is now flooded with AI generated slop and sometimes it is near impossible to differentiate them from the human made content.
You thought the world was in chaos back in 2019? Wait until you learn what the crap is going on in the eastern part of the world nowadays. Of course you wouldn't know Russia invaded Ukraine despite many armchair intellectuals online claiming that it would never happen. And nowadays they fly kamikaze drones into each other's heads. Well good news is, those drones got so cheap over the years, you can build one yourself for under 150 bucks if you had such dream. You also would realize there is no such country as Syria or Palestine anymore. You probably couldn't even guess paramotors, drones, RC cars could be weaponized. Guns that go pew pew doesn't worth shit anymore it seems. Most valuable assets in war are now 3D printers, electric motors and SBCs. Modern warfare changed so much in last few years that, it is a totally different game now.
But the worst news for you would be realizing that your million dollar monkey NFTs are more worthless than a pile of crap now. Yeah, that kinda crap didn't really catch on. But don't worry though, they come up with a new crypto based NFT slop once every 3 days. Maybe next bull run will make you the next Elon Musk. Talking about the CEO of shitcoins, he is now the head of DOGE. It is an official government branch now. And Donnie boy is still the president with your favorite African American businessman as his right hand, sorta. You cannot even make this shit up.
Oh also, stop using the term UFO. Aliens came to visit us and now they consider "UFO" a racial slur. So they changed it to "UAP". What UAP stands for? I don't fucking know but it still describes flying saucers. Oh, btw that whole flying saucer thing is quite old fashioned now. They all upgraded to flying tic-tacs. They say it has a better gas mileage.
Yes my dude, you are not dreaming. All this crap happened in last 5 years, not even a decade. People cannot even keep up with the world on day to day basis and you were sleeping all along. Could be worse though. Imagine you have been put into coma back in 1999. Now, that would be a total mindfuck. You would realize Y2K bug did not destroy the world but Matrix was right all along. You would be a caveman in modern world. Back in your day bleeding edge technology was a brick phone and having a phonecall felt like sticking a nuclear reactor down to your ear hole. Now you can send a thousand dick pictures a second to your favorite celebrities with the same kind of technology. You couldn't survive a day here.
If by a chance you actually been in a coma for the last 5 years, that was a very brief overview. Now you can go and start creating degenerate AI furry porn of your wildest dreams while watching the entire world tear itself apart.
