- AI will be introduced in some comercial applications. There will be efforts to make it more general. I would also expect more software development applications like "fix all my sonar warnings" or "migrate everything from Java to good Kotlin code"

- The Russia invasion of Ukraine will keep bloody and may escalate further. Political unrest in Transnistria or Belarus that may mean a change of regime (maybe with some extra help with US). Russia will start showing big financial and social problems.

- China will not go from Taiwan invasion but will try to consolidate disputed islands and other water territories taking advantage of NATO distractions.

- More crypto problems. Investors will have other less risky places to get profits.

- Twitter will be sold to an investor with money by a fraction of what Elon paid. Things may improve.

- Trump judicial problems may end him in prison. Republicans will select a different candidate and this will make a lot of noise. This wouldn't guaranty a republican lose.

- the world would adapt to be without Rusia oil. Prices will slowly go down. With great investments in green energies they will become cheaper in the long run. May be some battery improvements become mainstream

- melting ice will be worse than ever. Some north countries may experience natural disasters with new rivers or buildings built over frozen soil becoming unstable

- China may be in crisis but will still show new cool tech that may forbid the west to use after The US forbid some exports/imports. Commerce wars are quite probable ( but better than the alternative)



Extra predictions after some thoughts:

- someone will weaponize AI for online fraud or political manipulación.

- a lot of talks about how to revert your bad micro service separación with distributed monoliths.

- All the money that went to COVID biolabs will be applied to other illness with new medicines vaccines or detection methods.

- Metaverse wont be very used except for gamers

- Remote and async work will become more prevalent.

- won't discover what dark matter is but we will know a few that aren't.

- Some ex-soviet republic may have a muslin uprising now that the talibans control Afghanistan and Rusia is removing troops. It could be Uzbekistan, Tajikistan.

- quantum computing will have small improvements but nothing fully revolutionary (yet)
