this is so eye opening about the kind of anti-human-ness of so much of society now.
and idk if there's an equivalent term but I resonate so much with dysphoria but about not having known I was audhd for most of my life- and society still being hostile and disabling to live in even once you do know

A new article, and this one's definitely one of my weirder ones: it's about how much of the tech industry seems to show symptoms of gender dysphoria.

And now the punchline: this depersonalisation, the weird relationship to their bodily existence, inability to enjoy things and an internal void that people constantly try and fill with what they're to...

Out on the town having the time of my life with a bunch of friends. They're all just out of frame, laughing too.

Something I would like to emphasise is that the AI problem isn't a technology problem nearly as much as it is a social problem, because it is presenting humanity with a new culture in ways of working that treats humanity like a waste of space.
Aside from the techno-psychological whatever of it all

Watching pro AI people in Reddit discussions about slop PRs (code edit submissions to open source public software projects) complaining "What's the problem just review the PRs, if they're good merge them" really underlines a lot of the problematic way that AI boosters devalue respect for labour.

Conspiracist thinking was one of the key tools for the ascendancy of the far right and now I feel like I'm seeing the same patterns of thought (if not the same specific beliefs) pop up more and more on the left and that is *really bad*.
Conspiracism gets so preoccupied with what's hidden (whether real or imagined) that it ignores what's in plain sight. How wealth and power are produced and maintained is not a mystery, it happens right in front of us every day through processes which we are all capable of seeing and understanding.

Trying to process an onslaught of paradigm-shifting world historical events (pandemic, genocide, Epstein files, fascists seizing power, AI, etc) has been really destabilising and pushed people to take refuge in the perverse sense of certainty and structure that a grand conspiracy offers.

Feels like TV companies have forgotten about, or simply don't care about, making "slice of life" documentaries. Feels like we need them more than ever now, to understand why everyone is so fucking mad these days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUIr...
