'Do You Ever Feel Lonely With What You Know About AI?' A Reddit User Asks
Blank_3 · reddit · 2026-10-22
A Reddit user posts about anxiety over the state of AI: models are getting more capable faster and faster, rogue-agent risks worsen by the day, yet people around them in real life seem unconcerned.
The author says this leaves them feeling lonely and able to do nothing but wait, and asks the community: how do you feel about the future, and do you also feel lonely?
A classic AGI social-psychology thread, less about technical detail than about the emotions and need for community among people following AI closely.
