What’s with all the Doomsday stuff going around?

[Alfonsoo]

The never ending AI hacks, AI bubble news have been going for some months now. And just Trump and Israel in general, but now you see people saying their countries are citizens to be prepared for disasters? That might be ill-timed standard issue advice anyways but talk on the US-military also seems be of more activity. Among other things.
 

I know news and algorithms feed on these kind of loops but… maybe someone knows something?

 

Also, did anyone here got affected by the Binance hack?

There are multiple crises accelerating, many of our systems are more fragile and dependent than they seem. Our societal-structures and instititutions are generating risk, problems and externalities by virtue of simply functioning and arent well equipped to solve them. Right now we see economic-crises, supply-chain breakdowns on crucial economic inputs, several escalation-pathways to world war, acceleration of climate crisis, transgressing of planetary boundaries, rapid acceleration of technology with no one able to regulate and prevent the unintended consequences, no solution to the huge refugee flows from war and increasingly from climate-change. In short the problems we face are outpacing our problem-solving capacities and are accumulating rapidly.

A certain state precariousness is normal historically I think. We're spoiled by exceptional circumstances. 

A week's worth of supply is nothing too serious though and its been a precaution governments have pushed for a while now. Global warming and Russian sabotage means there are times when the infrastructure might temporarily fail.
