I will start by my answer:

I am scared of the future as hell:

Big companies seem to win, at least that is what it seems to me right now.
Humans are becoming less social in a trend that is accelerating.
There is no one, as far as I know, that is working on a set of rigid AI regulations that will ensure that it limits or control its harms and capabilities.
People around the world are losing their freedoms gradually with almost no way to get them back.
Everything around me seems to get uglier, from wars to hunger and it does not seem to be improving anytime soon.

What do you people think?

I'm scared that we won't collectively realise we need to fairly rapidly shift society to be a much more socialist economy in time to prevent all of the problems that come with there being vast swathes of people without jobs or any prospect of ever getting one. How things are currently set up, this goes very badly for basically everyone.
