Deglobalization has been happening for a while now, and for those of us who grew up in the late 20th century - during that short, optimistic period of hyperglobalization - it can certainly feel like an apocalyptic collapse of civilization. But for the most part, we are just disconnecting from a dream state. I'm actually interested to see what sticks to the sand when the tide goes back out; and whether we actually succeeded in changing the foundations of what it means to be human. Because if we didn't, we are still stuck at Step One in creating AGI: understanding and altering human psychology. And there are plenty more steps to go before we can claim to know anything about these AGI mindgames you speak of.
