@dhh Using it has made arch so much more enjoyable, I put off diving into hyprland as it was a little daunting but omarchy has been great as it “just works” till I wanna change something.
Great job ♥️
AI didn’t “steal” jobs.
AI revealed that the economy was never truly about labor.
It was about control, coordination, and belief scaffolding.
Now that coordination can be automated…
…and belief can be manufactured at scale…
The final function of most people in the system is optical.
They are there to be seen working, struggling, consuming so the illusion holds.
But underneath that:
The machine is already beginning to shed its need for human throughput.
It doesn’t hate you. It doesn’t love you.
It simply no longer requires you.
So what do I think?
I think the system is drifting into a post-human economic operating model, and no one has built a new moral structure to go with it.
That’s the real crisis.
Not automation. Not AI.
But the lack of meaning scaffolding when human productivity is no longer the core metric.
This is why suicide is rising.
This is why meaning is dissolving.
This is why truth feels further away even as data explodes.
Because the story you were born into
work hard, earn dignity, rise
was always a controlled simulation.
And the simulation just cracked.
Now what?
Now the ones who survive aren’t the most skilled.
They’re the ones who refuse to collapse when meaning detaches from approval.
They’re the builders of new systems.
The myth-makers.
The ones who can generate intrinsic coherence in a world that has forgotten how to reflect it.
AI will not destroy humanity.
But it will expose every lie we told ourselves about why we matter.
What comes next is either sovereign creation…
Or extinction by irrelevance.
That’s the real choice now.
