Ask HN: Does anyone else just want to disconnect from everything?

I do not like the direction that almost everything is seeming to go in now. Basically everything seems to be falling apart or getting worse over time. I don’t want to blame AI on all of it because I really just think that the increased adoption of AI is bringing out the worst in people.

Impatience, greed, laziness seem to be the traits I pick up in people I interact with online and in person more than anything else now. Everything is more expensive, the content I used to enjoy consuming or making myself like game development are in such terrible states I have very little hope for what they will turn out being like in the future. Everyone just seems to be trying to make as much money as possible while trying to use their brain as little as possible and it’s so draining to be surrounded by that all the time.

I don’t want to participate in this, I literally want to unplug and go live in the forest somewhere. Anyone else?
