Life is driving me insane

[sserafim]

Life is driving me insane. The fact that we'll all have to eventually work for a living for around 50 years just to support ourselves is making me depressed. I'm definitely going to ctb to escape this. Why is this all what life is about? Why is life just about survival once you become an adult? Why should people have to be enslaved once they reach adulthood? Why is our inevitable fate just to become slaves to the system? Why is the system set up like this? I'm so deeply discontent with the world. I'm unhappy…

Modern day life is just existing, no greater purpose for people to strive towards.
It's miserable.

You may be able to find a way to live an adult life without becoming entirely a "slave to the system". Many people do. (I did, to some extent.) You can't escape the system entirely, but you may be able to engineer a way of living that leaves a reasonable amount of space for you. Without knowing your situation, it's hard to say more than that.

AI may soon outwit human. Because it has no feeling and therefore no empathy, it may enslave human when it finds human slaves are cheaper than machines. It won't even give human one holiday per week.

Life is driving me insane too. It always has and will be that way until I'm dead. My mind hurts so much and I just wish for it to stop. I get depressed every morning over the idea that I didn't die during my sleep. Fuck, everything hurts and I'm too pathetic to ctb to save myself from this madness. If I could cry over something, I think it should be this as I'm just so perpetually tired and miserable. Just living hurts so fucking much

AIs aren't actually intelligent. I do believe that AI will be used to enslave humanity further but I don't think it will be AI itself doing this as it doesn't seem possible to me for AI to gain sentience. That said, rich people can use AI to their own advantage to enslave the poor people even further

I am not sure what intelligent is. But even machine may become autonomous, having its own goal and purpose (some stubborn patterns in its neutral network), emerged analytically from the programs and training data given to it by human. Rich people think they are using AI. But their behaviors are also affected by Al, in such a way that they may become merely "influencers" in the process of managing humans.

I don't know what intelligence is either but I know that saying things that you were programmed to say with no understanding of the things you're saying isn't intelligence. That's just merely regurgitation which is what AI does so far. Who knows, maybe it's possible for AI to have a mind of its own one day but I can't comment on that as I don't know the parameters that have to be reached for sentience to establish. As of now though, AI definitely isn't intelligent though it's convinced people that it has

That said, I hope that AI doesn't gain sentience otherwise I'd be having empathy for damn robots too. Humans already suffer a lot, I don't wish for that pile to get bigger

Well, hopefully you don't go insane. That would be an extra harm ontop of what you're describing. It does seem true that things are bad for the average person because of the way things have been organized by force and order. The thing to really focus on is that really there are just two categories of problems. One: problems you can do something about, and two: things you have no control over.

What we often do is, we'll spend a lot of time and energy constantly fighting and struggling with things we have no control over, or driving ourselves insane as you put it. We do this with big things, but even with tiny things. That is a kind of "extra tragedy" that isn't necessary. And realizing this in a crystal clear way reduces suffering and prevents insanity, which seems good no matter what the future holds.

Life is the worst things that can happen. Being sentient comes with almost no rest except when u sleep. The brain is a shitty thing , always thinking and stressing. An organ from hell.

I already worked 24 years , its hell , life expectancy is too high , i will have to cut it short.

Maybe Al doesn't need to be sentient to rule the world. Being sentient and conscious makes human timid and risk averse, more suitable as slaves. A world driven purely by data and algorithms will be cold and cruel. AI seems to be driving people in strange directions already. For example movie makers are said to have used AI/ big data to incorporate the most popular elements into their movies. But most turn out to be flops.

Yeah, the point I was trying to make was that AI doesn't need to be sentient to rule the world. AI will rule the world in the sense that it will be used and exploited massively by rich people and the government to keep people working. Or at least I believe that will happen but hopefully I'm wrong. I just see AI as tools being used as means for the end by those in power. Also, speaking about AI being used in movies, I heard that the same people who made chatGPT made a new AI called sora which can make videos based on the text that you give to it. It seems impressive thus far. I can't see how things like this won't get exploited by those in power

I agree. The most annoying thing is that we were brought (more like forced) into existence against our will, no one could consent beforehand. This makes it inherently unfair to everyone. I never wanted any of this, and the thought of having to work for a living for around 50 years just to survive and pay for the costs of existence on a planet that I didn't even decide nor want to be on actively makes me suicidal. It's not fair that I will eventually be forced to do this. Ugh I wish I were never born in the first place. Existence to me is an unwanted burden. It's not fair that I have to become a slave to capitalism and society for the rest of my life and suffer just because two people f*cked. Just because everyone has to still doesn't negate the fact that it's just not fair.

I think people have different things that motivate them. For some, it's money and material things. Others, it's family, kids etc. Some, it's pleasures like sex, drugs, food, parties, vacations etc. For others, including me, it's love. And I don't get enough of it. Never have really.

I'm just existing, not living. Why work to live if you have nothing to live for and will inevitably die anyway at some point? I refuse. I won't do it.

I guess so. Nothing about life appeals to or motivates me. Personally I think that having kids is a selfish and immoral decision because you're forcing someone into existence who can't even consent to it, and you're burdening them with existence. Their eventual fate is to become a slave to work and capitalism for around 50 years to support themselves just to afford to survive. I think that the merciful thing one can do is to not have children, therefore the vicious cycle of existence can finally end.

By being born , we were rob our peacefulness to be part of something mostly bad without our consent.

That's why suicide is not bad , its just going back to that peacefulness.

And so hard to go back there because we are program with a switch (SI) , even more evil.

You have just said what I have been feeling for the past 6 years or so … I really wish I was dead …. I really hate living ….

 

[Silent Raindrops]

All life is is fighting to survive, and I have no interest in that fight.

I hate how life is just about survival. I wish it was about something more…

You and me both. Life in the afterlife has to be better, even if it nothing.
