human relationships have been stripped of time and safety / care through capitalism and alienation
i wonder if anyone is going to ask the other question: why are kids confiding in AI how they feel about *insert mental health topic* and not confiding in a real person? or are we just going to use this as another “AI bad” thing and move on?
getting rid of AI won’t fix the problems that got us here

Because the center left party cannot relieve these feelings of alienation—alienated from work, from their peers, from society—they will find relief in the manosphere. I don’t think this guy has a coherent political ideology but it’s alienation that we should all worry about.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

GenAI as alienation from our own critical thinking/cognition. Short lil’ thread:
I finished the first draft of my third book, The Cosmos is a Black Aesthetic, in January. And I had to let it simmer and get some feedback. And I am ready to push through a major revision and I'm looking at some of the work that needs to be done and it would be **IMPOSSIBLE** with GenAI involvement.

Alienation from thinking, alienation from truth, alienation from curiosity, from meaning, from values. That's AI products in a nutshell.
I think the antidote is to learn to believe that things are more than commodities, that process is more than a means to a product.

Torturing your child, cutting them off from friends, treating them like they’re stupid, perverted, crazy, sick, and have no autonomy is what alienates them.
It’s not “parental alienation” as in a parent has been alienated. But it is parental alienation, because they’ve done it to their child.

To me this is by far the top explanation for Gen Z nihilism. If you don't brand and commodify every aspect of your life, you're falling behind. If you're not getting one over on the next guy in crypto or prediction markets, you're a sucker. Beyond Marx's alienation of labor--alienation of personhood
I am curious about the effect that almost everyone I know, even people who are doing relatively well, thinks they would be more successful economically if they sacrificed their ethical principles and just became a grifter of some sort.
so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.
