For sure there are plenty of people that don’t produce any real value in their work, but that’s been the case since forever and they’re hard to weed out because in some ways their full time job is to ensure their ongoing employment.

As in most things, it’s a question of extent.

The most accurate statement you can make is that AI will make “most” office employees “more” efficient.

The thing is, this has been happening with every technological advance for hundreds of years.

There’s no evidence that “more advanced AI” is going to emerge in the next few years.

Sorry this is just plain wrong and there’s no evidence of this at all.

People have been saying this since the invention of the comptometer.

Anyone who’s job can be replaced by an LLM isnt producing any value.

For the rest of us it’s an incremental improvement at best.

Yeah that’s a really good point.

The general consensus seems to be that doing something is better than doing nothing.

I really disagree though. After a few failed attempts people will lose heart and get in line.

There seems to be half a dozen different protests now too, all on different days with no cohesive objectives

If this thread is like the others, there are no demands but a strong intention to express general discontent.

I don’t think this is true.

It’s not exciting to me any more because I hate the way it’s changing the world.

In the 2010s it felt like tech would save us.

I’m deep in phase 2, just building up to phase 3 I think.

ADHD memes do seem to resonate with me, but I’m not sure I experience the deleterious effects to a severe enough extent to really have diagnosable ADHD.

Even if I am, I’m not sure stimulants would be the right way to go, and I’m already doing my best with ADHD style interventions to support productivity et cetera.
