I mean honestly, no shit it won’t shorten the work week, because no technological advancement has ever made us less busy. Only more. His reason is wrong and is just a bald faced lie to cover that he thinks it’s a great way to milk out more blood from the stones these places are built on.
Billionaires secretly enjoy guillotines.
He’s half right. I enjoy being busy, as long as I’m doing things I want when I want. What my employer wants me to do is rarely on the top of that list.
Plantation owner assures us slaves enjoy the whip.
If you don’t like working 50 hours a week until age 80 for a non living wage. It means you have work derangement syndrome. Totally a real thing.
Yes… Doing things we enjoy rather than working.
Here’s the thing, I do love being busy…
Playing with my kid
Cleaning the house
Painting minis
Work busy is so far down the list
There is a thing if you do nothing and didn’t interact with the world at all and work can expose you to different groups of people, that work can be better than never working. But the ideal schedule is like 5 hours twice a week with almost no commute. More than three days and it starts to harm you and drastically reduces what you can do.
Yeah dude, busy playing Metroid and going surfing, not busy completing four hours of unskippable corporate training for the third time this month
Fuck man, if AI made it so I didn’t have to work 40 hours a week just to live, you know what I’d be doing?
I’d be keeping busy about as much time per week, sure. But I’d be doing shit I WANT TO DO instead of maximizing Shareholder Value™️. Reading, motorcycling, brewing, baking, hiking…
Living. Not just working.
Unfortunately for us all, LLMs won’t do that and never were designed for it. Instead they’re tools of Fascist oppression, and should be destroyed.
“Sam Altman says…”
Who fucking cares?
It sure is convenient that the business owners are always reporting on their findings that support their business models!
Busy with what
This mfer thinks we don’t do shit outside of working hours wtf
I never feel more useless, isolated, and destroyed emotionally than when I am performing monotonous shitty tasks fixing fuckups that shouldn’t have happened
and it just so happens that that seems to be the type of work that AI leaves behind for real people, so…
Weird, I thought I said Sam Altman could go fuck himself after the last awful thing he said, did nobody pass my message on?
I enjoy teaching and, provided I was guaranteed my needs and reasonable comforts were provided, would continue to teach for free. I doubt Altman’s talking about passionate people pursuing their passions free from the threat of financial ruin.
Bingo! People love being busy when it’s about passionate work or enjoying their hobbies.
Altman passion is to make more money. He is a venture capitalist primarily, making billions on his previous investments in tech companies. He is not a human existence 99.9999 % of us can emulate.
Oh no! My secret love for labor! I sure hope no one tries to reduce my quality of life by reducing my hours/full paycheck!
“Those peasants and their secret love for having food and a roof over their heads, lol. “
