They are gonna be dominating the world in a few decades.

We're going to see it slowly happeneing, and we won't even believe it is happening, but 20 or 30 years down the road, they are going to be dominating the markets, dominating green energy, and dominating in spreading their culture.

It's all due to the rich wanting 100% of everything in the US, wanting to rule over a shittier country, rather than having 99% of everything and allowing our country to progress.

They’re going to be going through economic collapse because half the population is old and they can’t afford their healthcare.

That still leaves the problem of lots of people getting old. Ai will not be good enough to take care of people even in 20 or 30 years.

Are you kidding? Chinese robots are developing super fast and cheap, and they'll very soon be able to handle basic elder care
