I know what the doomsday clock is. It's a useless abstraction of doom that is not based on anything empirical. How do you know it's not going to put a dent? Perhaps you have created a doom filter bubble and the only news you see is bad news. Yes, things are bad. But also there's so many good things that are happening. You just don't hear about them in the headlines because it doesn't sell clicks.

Yeah imagine being angry about progress that five years ago people thought was impossible. This person is probably out eating sushi right now too.

The last part is utter nonsense. If what you said were true to the extreme you implied, Tesla wouldn't exist. SpaceX wouldn't exist. We wouldn't be funding nuclear fusion. Venture capital wouldn't be a meaningful thing. OpenAI wouldn't exist. Tesla wouldn't be trying to create FSD. Google, Meta, etc. Wouldn't be investing in AI. The US is arguably leading the world in moving AI forward in both academics and in private industry. There are so many counterpoints to your pessimistic worldview in private enterprise that to suggest it's the reason why the US isn't thinking ahead is a lie, or willful ignorance. The government on the other hand, this is absolutely true. But it's also the nature of democracy. It's the fault of the voters because we reward politicians for short term thinking, not long term thinking.
