Let's see.

  • We'll probably be up to the iPhone 22 but I doubt that's what they'll call it.
  • We will have missed the majority of the global warming deadlines to transition to greener energy by 2030 with most companies pushing out their timeliness to 2050.
  • The buzz around AI will have died down a bit but the technology will have found its niche and been adopted both as a useful tool and the next step of enshittification against users.
  • The SpaceX Mars mission will still be nowhere to be found
  • The first $10 trillion+ market cap company will exist by then
  • There will be some other, different conflict in the middle-east
  • The invasion of Taiwan will have either already been attempted or China gives up on it and decides to focus on building their own fabs
  • Putin is still in control of Russia but extremely rarely seen outside of his bunker. Thee are many conspiracies that he is dead and has been replaced by a double
  • The war in Ukraine has stalled with neither party being able to achieve complete victory. There is an armistice in place but not a proper peace accord
  • The price of food has almost doubled again compared to today but wages only increased by 60%
  • There is an even higher social tension between the left and right but people are unwilling to try to break out of the two party system
  • Lemmy has 2-3 x users compared to today but is still a niche platform

Year 2030 will not start before year 2029 has ended.
I think it's not til year 2048 that we get the actual Y2K bug at which point I'm a bit less sure.

2038, it's known as the 2038 problem, essentially 32bits computers will run out of bits for counting seconds. This has been fixed on any modern system.

We'll still be reading articles about Trump's "legal blows" despite ongoing and consistently successful delay tactics.

I'm not sure he has that much time left. That man is old, and doesn't seem to have a healthy lifestyle, or any real friends. My friends, my real ones, tell me when I'm overdoing things, or falling into unhealthy habits.

That fucking cockroach will probably break a hundred. Evil people have an infuriating tendency to live for an eternity.

The Good Place pretty much describes the only afterlife I think humanity would get. Just mismanaged and pointless pain
