This is a really good question. With everything that's currently going on, it can be easy to get stuck in fight or flight and be stuck in a doom loop that this is all there is, and ever will be. But that's not how it goes. Already worldwide people are rejecting AI, and it's crashing to the ground. Also worldwide, Right wing politicians are predominantly being voted down into obscurity. People are hacking hardware they own but have been locked out of, to allow free use. This is a created space away from the corporate ownership that plugs us in for battery powered add revenue. We are quietly saying, what do we want, and how can we build it ourselves. I feel like green spaces are going to make a comeback, places to go that don't require spending money, places to gather together and exercise, to spite the predatory gym industry or just enjoy nature. Sharing resources in spite of the finite resources being treated as infinite by corporations, builds spaces to gather and trade. An absolute rejection and demystifying of "needing the new fangled thing", creates workshops for how to build with what you have. And sharing skills. What about bringing back computer rooms to gather together and game or learn. Whatever we imagine we can build, and if all other avenues have been eradicated, we will just build these. Just to shove it back in their faces.
