I predict that the world would be better for the Scandinavian countries. All other countries - I have no idea.And for LLM & AI, I predict that the tech bros overestimate the pace of change, while the average joe underestimate the new capabilities.

You can predict by using one of several techniques:
1. Naive prediction: it will be similar to now
2. Linear regression: look at several parameters associated with LLM (speed, quality, accuracy, etc.) and create linear regressions from these parameters
2a. Polynomial regression: same as above, but fit a polynomial
3. Group prediction: select 20 friends, ask them to make predictions, then find the average(s)
...and many more with increasing levels of complexity

I believe there will be a massive shift from a lot of white-collar jobs to blue-collar jobs, as these jobs will be the ones most affected by AI. I believe Western countries will be poorer than they are now, and countries in Asia and Africa will become richer as more money will flow into their manufacturing and Agricultural industries.

LLM's will be confidently wrong at a much higher token-per-second rate

In the West, decline of living standards and continued decay of institutions. Probably very few organizations actually benefit from LLMs, mostly bankers.Elsewhere? who knows
