Hey, Y Combinator - What will happen to humans?

5•pikseladam•35m ago
this community is by far the one i respect the most. you are well educated, well informed builders. you know best.

so i ask, what will happen to humans with this ai revolution? im in a pretty depressed mood lately, not because i think it will affect me badly but because i think humanity will have to face extreme hunger, poverty and war.

but what do you think? what will happen to us?

we're all fucking idiots morons we don't know shit bro don't listen to anyone, your intuition is by far the best ai with the best possible inputs

nobody can tell you what will happen for sure, those who do won't tell you, those who think they do usually don't and you simply cannot tell because of how little badnwidth text has as a way of communicating about things that are in fact very complex

we're probably gonna be okay but at the same time i bet it's gonna look nothing like any of us can imagine.

Hahahahahahahahahaha gasps for air hahahahahahahaha.

> im in a pretty depressed mood lately

You have a fantastic sense of humour, though.

Don’t fall into the trap of deifying HN. This community is full of bigots with no empathy who openly cheer for fucking over others in the name of personal profit. Not everyone, of course, there are also kind, interesting people here, but there’s good reason HN (a.k.a. “the orange site”) is endlessly mocked and avoided in other communities. There are some truly vile takes over here.

This community has too many people who are very smart in one particular axis and arrogantly believe that translates to every other. It is one of the last places where you should be asking for advice on your mood or the future of humanity. If this community had its say on the future of humanity, it would look a lot like what we are already seeing: A few narcissists with too much power controlling the lives of everyone with zero regard for their humanity, while bleeding the planet dry.

If you want to feel better, step away from the computer. Go engage with your friends and your community, in person. Form strong bonds and learn to depend on others and have others depend on you. Organise. Fight for your beliefs. Be kind.
