- With AI disrupting employment, millions could face the loss of purpose, identity and social belonging.
- The psychological toll of sudden AI-driven unemployment remains largely unaddressed.
- If we want AI to be remembered as a tool for human flourishing, rather than mass alienation, we must start planning, not just for the jobs AI will create – but for the dreams it might erase.

Was it ever not a tool of mass alienation?

Was it ever not a tool of mass alienation?
It is explicitly intended to be, you only have to listen to them talk about it for that to be abundantly clear. Fuck, even ask an AI themselves and they'll tell you about the dangers of how it's being used. The only people saying it's not are the utopian dreamers who are expecting it to be something it's currently not and likely has no hope of ever being. This is not a utopia and the people creating these technologies are not utopians in the slightest, they are mercenary capitalists and they will instantly grind you into a paste without even a shred of remorse or even an acknowledgement that they've done so, if it helps them get their next dollar. Some of them only think about you in the abstract. Most of them don't think of you at all.
