Superintelligence Dissolves Social Interdependence

The author contends the primary impact of AI won’t be hostile agents but ultra‑capable tools that satisfy our needs without other people. As expertise, labor, and even companionship become on‑demand services from machines, the division of labor and reciprocity that knit society together weaken. The result is a slow erosion of social bonds and institutional reliance before any sci‑fi 'agency' risk arrives. — It reframes AI risk from extinction or bias toward a systemic social‑capital collapse that would reshape families, communities, markets, and governance.
