Loneliness and Artificial Intelligence

I am going to (hopefully) tie together a bunch of disparate thoughts in this article. I feel like all of these are tangential into how we should think about the economy (human-centric, right?) but as a heads up and out of respect for your time, none of this is inherently economic focused (for example, the Fed is not mentioned once!) Rather, it’s an overarching analysis on some thematics that I think are economic drivers.

  1. Holy shit dude wow, you really put into words some things I've been thinking about for a while now. I also love the nuance with which you criticize technology. It's so easy to go down the man yelling at cloud "kids these days with their technology" path, but you sidestep it deftly. You have a keen eye for analyzing trends in society and I sincerely hope you continue to make videos along these lines

  2. Attempting to describe and exhaust reality, as if we could control it, through language might distract us from the fact that we are much more clueless and unconscious than we give ourselves credit for. The best friends I've found in life spoke in some distinct way, behaved, carried themselves, made choices, that I'm too dumb to put words too; maybe I'm too slow to consciously grasp and keep up with all the unspoken, intuitive, cues. Technology, and their design, play a role into those cues; they have a will of their own. On the other hand, "social media," "artificial intelligence," in our collective, immediate understanding do not have in their meanings all of their potential. Think of "smartphones" – before and after the commercial success of the iPhone, what the average person would describe as a phone being "smart" was totally different. Social media, as we see it today, depends a lot in the success and paradigms set by Facebook. AI is heavily used for ads in some business model, in some capitalistic society, in some historical setting. As someone reads this comment they see my name up there; a profile, a potential reputation; an "avatar" of my sense of self. That is a design choice. You didn't necessarily have to be able to see this comment, or see who wrote it, or how much people liked it, answered it. All of these design choices inform behavior and expected rewards. What if there were no profiles? What if the definition of what "engagement" is was radically different? What if algorithms didn't optimize for engagement at all? Technology could provide platforms to help solve the problem of loneliness, even if we agree that their current design accentuate it. AI could be built for enhancing serendipity.

  7. Hey Kyla, Your content is great but the delivery could be better. I know am not in no place to tell you what you should do but if you can talk more naturally that would make videos much better. It just feels like you are straight up reading the script.

    Just be relax while filming like how you were in last 50 sec of the video.

  9. Existentialist slam poetry.

    We polished rocks until they were a perfect mirror and added energy. The first thing these rocks became was a mirror. Social media doesn't show us each other, it shows us ourselves. That's why it scares us.

    AI is just another facet of the mirror. An imperfect and beautiful reflection of the patterns in our collective consciousness.

  12. There’s a friendship recession. And a child recession. Across all financially wealthy nations. Birth rates are dropping and a bunch of countries are in very concerning zone. Relevant to the economy.

    Yup. Procreation is the great challenge of the era given of techno-psycho-social state of affairs.

    The existential conversation is dominated by save the polar bears and stop boiling oceans and nuclear war and a.I.
    The conversation forgot that if 2 generations have 1 child per couple then the population declines -80%
    That would be the largest human population collapse we know of. It kinda looks like that’s incoming. Does it look like young people are all pairing up to raise one child on averags? Kinda does. Alotta 0 kids, 1 kid and 2 kids.

    One contributing factor is locality-rooted community has diminished to almost nothing

    there’s a better way however Unlikely it will be built and scaled before a large population decline.

    Perhaps new zoning laws to restructure the physical world to re-orient people for locality-rooted community. Perhaps new cultural standards (regulation?) for tech usage. Akin to cigarettes.

    I’m interested to see what the Praxis city looks like.

    A solution to the birth rate problem is could solve an existential threat nations like Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, Spain, Greece are facing today. We need our best thinkers and entrepreneurs working in this (if we want to avoid population collapse, I think many people are indifferent)

    Increasing immigration kicks the can down the road.

    Humans will need to come together in a locality driven community to make more humans. It takes a village, not ChatGPT

  13. holy shit. this video is so fucking amazing. more content like this on top of the econ stuff, plz. i love the way you tie in all these tangentially disciplines into the economy and its actually beautiful.

  14. Kayla, you have to slow down a bit to allow the listener to soak in what you’re saying. You go so fast it’s hard to keep up with and process/understand. Other than that it’s really great work and an interesting pov

  15. Why you talking so fast about such a topic. It works in finance because you want to compress lot of info in 20min video, but if you are trying new things my brain doesn't get time to comprehend and refect on your words.

  16. services like chat GPT and github copilot are seriously going to change the way the world is built. "too shiny" syndrome isn't something I had considered as a potential negative for this, but it's a really good point.

  17. As someone who reads all kinds of interesting articles, this video is quite surprisingly good

    Appreciate this stuff kyla

    Have a nice day

  19. 'Youth is wasted on the young'
    Every time I go outside I end up chatting with some stranger for ages… some have ended up becoming good friends. I think it's true that life's what you make it… but what do I know, I'm old-ish 😄
    Also, I remember everyone worrying about AI (for a few weeks) when Blade Runner came out in 1982 ☺️

  31. Honestly this was one of your best videos. Its borderline poetic philosophy and the way you put everything together just flows soo well

  33. I’m a medical student with a background in linguistics and I work as a professional medical interpreter in Spanish, Arabic, and Hindustani. My brother is a data scientist with a background in cognitive science. I’ve started up a YouTube channel where I talk about things in different languages. Would love to exchange ideas and maybe collab one day.

    I was skeptical and still am about the idea that we traded off visual acuity (or visual memory, it seems) for language as part of our evolutionary history. I studied evolutionary theory as my major in college. Still, I might be an example of this trade off… I admit I do have an extraordinary language ability (forgive my lack of modesty), but my musical ability is non-existent and so is my visuospatial memory (I cannot play blind chess to save my life, nor plain old chess for that matter), and I generally just suck at directions.

  45. Kyla, if you ever are feeling lonely, I'm here for you. You can talk about the econ all you want. I'll just reply with "damn" and "that's shits whack" every once in a while.
