And C-Suites are freaking the fuck out (my company) because we’re completing all of the work in <40 hours per week, which causes them to lose money lmao It is so fucking wild to me how no one sees the glaring problem here

All of this AI shit should’ve stayed as nothing more and nothing less than a tool to make the very monotonous work done by everyone just a tad easier.

It feels like we’re in such a massive fucking bubble right now on the scale of how people have talked about the sub prime mortgage crisis.

My boomer ass parents just keep telling me to wait for things to get better, but how can you wait for things to get better when things are just statistically worse for everyone

      It probably will. Human history is mostly a series of shit getting worse, then getting a lot better. We may one day hit an insurmountable wall, but I don’t think this is it. The trick is that it won’t get better on its own. People have to actively give a shit to make things better.

        The trick is that the conditions for people to make things better need to exist first. What I mean by saying that things are not going to get better is because the conditions to make things better dont exist in the US right now. I’m not making a pessimistic statement just a realistic one about the current conditions in the US
