When the AI-Wars begin, Nerds will be simultaneously hated as the cause of the Robopocalypse, but also recognized as the only hope for ending it.

In the future Nerds will take over the world and be the dictators we love to hate.

Make sure not to step on any errant blood stains before we find our LIFE EXTINGUSHER.

Hm, considering recent history has, at best, flattered Nerds but hindered them, allowing assholes like Elon Sucks and Benzos to dominate them, I don't think you're gonna find an "ideal" future for nerds.  Even Billy was a thief and Jobless was a charlatan.

In fact, society's gun turret seems to be swinging back against the nerds.  What was revered must be reviled.
Incels are being blamed for everything, and Discord's a terrorist network.
