The disappointing answer is that it's going to be very similar to how things are now, just with fewer rights and more repression around the edges. Almost all of Project 2025's policies are things that this nation has used in the past or is using today to a lesser degree - voter suppression, rollback of labor rights and civil liberties. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer, but that was happening long before Trump.

As a map some days ago showed, Canada, Greenland, Panama, probably Israel, maybe even Ukrain - it's all about shipping lanes.
All that effort makes sense if there is the believe that global trade will increase and that the USA will still be relevant when the center of the global population is in Asia.
So extinction is not the goal but could be an accepted risk.
I think once the singularity is reached with AI, it will quickly be able to take over all systems (including banking). I believe that it will be benevolent and will help humanity reach enlightenment. Most people will get an early retirement. But, some people such as Musk, Zuck, Bezos, will be considered essential and will be required to assist the AI and their robot armies in the fields, restaurants, factories, etc. Iโm thinking we would only need about 1% of the population to work at that time, the top 1% are the best candidates.
I doubt AI will ever have it's own will. First to get their hands on ASI, becomes God forever.
EDIT: Imagine a beyond human AI, restoring life to everyone who has ever lived, and making more life, just so it can inflict beyond-comprehensible torture, just doing whatever is the opposite of good. If possible, forever.
Why would it waste resources doing these unnecessary tasks?
Maybe you won't, but make no mistake, that's the kind of people we are dealing with. They have everything they ever wanted, now the only way to feel even more superior is to take everything they can from us.
Its fascinating that millenarians have now latched on to software developed for fraud and generating non-consensual pornography.
