==== Your predictions cluster into a few recurring types: ====
* Experiential / phenomenological (how daily life feels): “Things will talk,” “learning is immersive,” “reality merges with fiction,” “therapy changes meaning,” “friendship bar rises.”
* Social-relational reconfiguration (who we bond with, how, and why): celebrity clones, deep matchmaking, friendship selectivity, therapy/companionship, fictional/NPC personhood in public space.
* Institutional / governance / norms (rules, safety, legitimacy, rights): safety debates, vulnerable adults vs kids, content being AI-dark, licensing regimes, “hardcore mode” leadership norms.
* Economic incentive forecasts (markets form because money pulls them into existence): celebrity clones as inevitable incentive, micropayments/training rights, paid conversations with AI, NPC licensing.
* Epistemic / cognition / culture (what people believe; what thinking skills matter): simulation belief growth, rebirth of humanities, bullshit detection as ambient infrastructure.

Notably, you’re not mostly making “capability milestone” predictions (“AGI by X”). You’re predicting interfaces, norms, and social meaning.
