I’m pretty worried about the future where we survive and build aligned AGI, but we don’t manage to fully solve all the coordination or societal problems. Humans as a species still have control overall, but individuals don’t really.
The world is crazy, and very good on most axes, but also disorienting and many people are somewhat unfulfilled.
It doesn’t seem crazy that people born before large societal changes (eg industrial revolution, development of computers, etc) do feel somewhat alienated from what society becomes. I could imagine some pre-industrial revolution farmer kind of missing the simplicity and control they had over their life (although this might be romanticizing the situation).
