Not necessarily cynical.  It's difficult to predict the rate of changes or events. I remember in the late 60s, early 70s there was a spurt of legislation to improve society - the repeal of laws banning homosexuality, legalisation of some abortions, lowering the age of majority to 18, laws against racial and sexual discrimination, etc, so there could be a change in society and international events that prioritises health care, education and housing above possession of nuclear armaments (which, after all, is accurately described as MAD, because if ever used is probably the end of human civilisation). Alternatively, perhaps wealth generated from AI could benefit the whole of civilisation contributing to all those social benefits. I - or you - don't know; will it be nuclear disaster, climate disaster or a realisation absndon war and greed to improve life on earth?
