Dystopia is a world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, and fearful lives.

If you need a more vivid example, think of the novel The Children of Men (1992), by P.D. James where the human population has become infertile and lost all interest in politics, allowing the authorities to install various regulations such as mass "voluntary" suicides by the elderly, rampant cruel treatment toward prisoners of the state, and mandatory sperm testing and female inspections. Fatalism, boredom, crime, and religious hysteria are abundant, and it's not that pretty.

While such an environment might seem possible only in fiction, there is a subreddit whose members think we're actually on our way to making it a reality. It's called 'A Boring Dystopia' and these folks regularly share real-life examples of what they believe to be societal decay. Here are some of them.

Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) is widely considered to be one of the primary suspects that can send us humans into doom and gloom. And for good reason: this technology has brought many good and bad things into our lives, and it will have an even greater impact in the coming decades.

Naveen Joshi, who is the founder and CEO of Allerin, a company that develops engineering and technology solutions focused on optimal customer experiences, and has extensive experience in AI, big data, IoT, and blockchain, thinks that there are legitimate reasons to be concerned.

"Current AI research is overly focused on making advances in a narrow set of domains and pays insufficient attention to the disruptive effects on society's fabric," Joshi wrote in Forbes.

According to Joshi, if AI technology continues on its current path, it will likely cause social upheaval for at least two reasons.

"Firstly, AI will have an impact on the future of work. Our current trajectory over-automates work while refusing to invest in human productivity. Further advances will displace workers while failing to create new opportunities and, as a result, miss out on AI's full potential to boost productivity."

"Also, AI has the potential to undermine democracy and individual liberties."

Like is this just the climinate conference drama again where people complained about world leaders using planes to get to the climate summit. Like how else where they going to get there, by boat? Sometimes you need to use CO2 to reduce CO2. Without context everyone's comments make no sense. They are assuming stuff not stated as we have no idea what we are looking at and what its purpose is and how it will be used.

If things do not change, Joshi predicts that we will see massive unemployment, as many jobs will be replaced by machinery.

"Wealth inequality will be created as AI investors take the lion's share of the earnings. The gap between rich and poor will grow wider. The so-called 'M' shape of wealth distribution will become more apparent," he continued.

"Issues emerge not only in the social sense but also in AI itself, as the AI that is trained and taught how to operate the given task can eventually take off to the point where human control is lost, resulting in unanticipated problems and consequences."

"It refers to AI's ability to function autonomously after being loaded with all necessary algorithms, ignoring the command given by the human controller," Joshi said.

"AI takeover will be limited to the entertaining plots of dystopian movies and fictional worlds if proper laws protect the users," Joshi said. "The omniscient and nearly omnipotent power of AI has been called into question. There may be no definitive answer to the question of AI replacing humans in various industries. Only predictions and observations are available."

The future of AI remains hazy, but if you would like to explore the current state of our society a bit deeper, check out Bored Panda's earlier publications 45 Pics That Show That We’re Already Living In A Dystopic Nightmare and This Online Group Is “Showcasing The Idea That We Live In A Dystopia That Is Boring” One Post At A Time.

She had Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. There is no cure for EDS, and Jennyfer was in constant pain. That being said, she did NOT want to die, and wanted treatment/healthcare, but she was not able to secure the treatments and care she wanted and needed. She was, however, eligible for medically-assisted euthanasia. In the end, her mental and physical suffering grew so great that she felt pushed into choosing euthanasia. I am a supporter for assisted euthanasia for those who have terminal diagnoses, but ONLY AFTER medical assistance is exhausted or refused entirely! Jennyfer did not REFUSE medical assistance - SHE was refused it.

So the US govt only cares about the obesity problem when it keeps them from recruiting enough cannon fodder? Checks out.

Wouldn't call this dystopian, it's a good idea. Traveling business people would like to have a place to conduct business during long layovers, and as someone who just dislikes people, noise, pretty much everything, I can imagine going in here for a bit and getting some peace and quiet.

Part of American policing is based on slave patrols, which was literally created to kill Black people that they deemed a threat. They won’t be held accountable, and even if by some chance they do go to trial and lose it won’t prevent the killing of another unarmed black man.

If this is for breaks it should be celebrated. Naps and taking time out at work should be encouraged and not laughed at by employers. Even just being able to sit in a quiet place and being able to close your eyes for a few minutes, not necessarily going to sleep, can make you feel so relaxed. Normalise this in the workplace!

That is an anti drunk driving campaign car. The back window says “choose your ride.” They are trying to encourage people to take a taxi instead of driving drunk and catching a ride to jail in the back of a police car. That car just gets parked at various places where alcohol is served and is not used for regular police duty.

I’m curious to know how much they will pay for internet on the ship. It is so patchy and slow, I don’t think they’ll be doing much work at all (probably part of the plan)

The banks lock the ATM vestibules during off hours to keep the homeless from sleeping in them. TD Canada Trust only earned $11B last year, so they obviously can't afford security guards! It's also to encourage you to not use cash-money anymore.

Uh no that is VP Kamala Harris. It's an art installation that was placed by the National Women's History Museum.The picture was made using broken glass to symbolize breaking the glass ceiling. It's now dystopian to celebrate women?
