What can we say that we're already here on than getting there?
I read all the time about people saying we’re on the cusp of AI/bots taking over, when, we’re already there. People saying America is on the verge of its own collapse when, we’re kinda already here.

Hmm.
I can think of many more examples of “bad stuff”, each different.
What they have in common is that people warn about them in terms “we’re on the verge of desaster” because that’s one way to raise awareness of looming danger while at the same time stressing that we can still do something to avoid it.
