We will be in climate crisis, we will be not able to leave our homes most of the days and all the land will be burned and heated as fuck, waiting the years to pass until the nature can reestablish themselves or with a little help of some robots that will be able to work outside buildings.

AI will make immense progress and all jobs that require a computer will be handed over to AI and robots. There will be hardly any middle managers left. People will do manual or personal stuff that robots cannot do.
Depending on who owns the AI, the distribution of wealth decides which jobs are available. I would bet on a small group of people who are going to decide what humanity will do.
The problem is that AI requires energy. At one point, the decision has to be made whether energy is used for bricks or bytes. Bytes will be prefered so most people will live in tiny rooms.
Since there is not much work to be done, and energy is expensive, people will spent most of their time doing something energy-efficient. Cities will be built for walking distances.
Aspiring artists will find work correcting the fingers and toes in AI illustrations.
This is the ultimate failure of capitalism, an autonomous Workforce should mean that we are all free to live our lives. Instead it just means that we won't be able to eat.

Closer to Idiocracy.
Civilization will be crawling on its hands and knees, dying.
The rich will all be trying to pile into New Zealand.
America will be a warzone.
I'll have been killed by a flash mob stealing food from vulnerable houses.
Canada will be overrun by refugees, with rampant disease and cannibalism in the camps.
The republicans in the USA will still deny climate change, saying it's all a hoax.
The middle east and india will be uninhabitable.
Nuclear weapons use will be widespread.
The Internet won't exist anymore.
Everyone reading this comment will be dead.
I'll be surprised if all this eventuates in the next ten years
I feel like we are going to be blindsided by tech development in a field a lot of non-tech people don't expect.
Maybe VR/AR really taking off in the mainstream to a point it effects TV sales for example or high quality chatbots or image generation tools that can be easily run locally on consumer hardware.
We might also see cellphones using a different decentralized network.
I think there is going to be a greater push for KYC for social media as we are going to soon be inundated with comments and online activity by bots that is indistinguishable from humans and hyper taylored to its audience. All the stuff Russia pulled with election interference is going to be child's play.
There is also going to be an explosion of content. The same recipe page that took a human a day or two to create will be made in a second. Billions of recipe pages, billions of sports blogs, billions of comments...
Global warming will get worse, maybe a run away effect might start.
