      I’d like to interject for a moment, but what you’re actually referring as Sam Altman isn’t his actual name, but as I’ve taken to calling him Scam Altman

      If i force myself to read anything he’s said, i make sure i read it in that pre-pubescent voice of his. I can never get past the way it sounds like he’s straining to summon enough energy to make sound come out of his mouth. The ideas that couple with that hideous noise just make the situation magnitudes worse 🫩

      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.

    I do enjoy working a lot

    Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t prefer to work shorter weeks for companies that profit from me

    Then I can spend more time on my own projects which is more rewarding

      People enjoy productivity. People love working on things. But they don’t enjoy working on things for someone else, all while getting nothing out of it but some financial compensation for their time wasted.

      One of the most awful feelings is being too exhausted to work on your own projects. It’s so unfulfilling and anti-human nature.

        some financial compensation for their time wasted.

        *As minimal financial compensation as possible, which must be constantly fought over too.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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…
