I will be a bit pessimistic after seeing all these discussions about AI and how we are blind to the reality imho. Climate instability increases, wealth and housing is becoming something luxury, political polarization deepens, manipulation and surveillance are everywhere. Young generations face declining economics and rising precarity, while corporates especially in technology becoming something called techno feudalism as they are stronger than most countries already. Into this environment there… arrives the artificial intelligence, marketed as a universal productivity tool and personal escape route. The AI narrative is about to optimize speed, scale, and efficiency within the same competitive systems that produced these pressures. Rather than correcting systemic imbalances. There is a clear risk in the direction we are heading by accelerating them expanding automation, concentrating power, and increasing information distortion. I don’t say AI has no value, it has huge potential and revolutionary, this technological acceleration alone can resolve crises rooted in economic structures, governance failures, and collective action problems. It is promoted as the opposite, as something to adapt or die to outcompete others, and secure economic advantage in an increasingly unstable world. It risks expanding automation, concentrating power, and amplifying information distortion. submitted by /u/biyopunk
