So I’ve sorta noticed that this AI/LLM has made it a lot easier for people in corporate America to do their jobs

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

Explain? This is so fucking funny. Like they could just give you more work or just cut the work week to 32 hrs.
A bunch of super duper serious old white dudes have been cracking down because most of us have been doing our work in less than 40 hours lmao it is absolutely absurd man
Lol owned
Honestly contemplating quitting this bullshit altogether and finding some friends and living together in a house we all share
Shit just keeps getting worse and I was told it would get better eventually (lmfao)
And what makes it more bizarre is that I did literally all I was told to do- went to a 4 year university in a STEM program, graduated with essentially no debt but still can’t find a job that pays anymore than 80K. It’s all a fucking scam
I read Bullshit Jobs and had an existential crisis going through some of the things I recognized on my own job. The pointlessness of work in America is often missed. I would rather we be efficient and got done in 32 hrs, instead of wasting away doing 40 or 50 hrs.
I'm completely with you on this. I want to live in a commune with the kind and capable people I've met on the internet.
No debt and 80k salary? Do you have kids or live in LA or something? Sounds like plenty to me.
It’s plenty, but I have a chronic illness that my insurance won’t cover meds for (-2K each month+ another 1200 for rent + car payment + car insurance + groceries) and it’s an extremely volatile industry where the pay is based a lot on bonuses
So 75 base but typically end up around 80 with bonuses.
But yeah, deeply contemplating quitting corporate America altogether and working in the service industry
Ah yes privatized medicine at its finest. I’m sorry you have to deal with that, I didn’t mean to come off as condescending but I realize I might have.
Nah no worries at all, I appreciate the understanding. I think edge cases like mine are what causes people to innocently miss the reality of living in the United States.
I truly have trouble ordering my medicine because it enrages me how some of those low-level pharmaceutical employees can charge thousands of dollars for life-altering medicine so nonchalantly
And it’s truly incomprehensible because my medicine is on the cheap end of specialty medicines.
Words can’t describe this country and if it were easier to get out, you’d see mass exoduses everyday.
What work do you do?
Typical bullshit tech job. Not quite a developer but not an analyst
Typical bullshit tech job.
Thanks but unfortuntely I've no idea what that means.
