That's one of things that bothers me about how AI is being pushed in the workplace. Assuming AI actually does manage to help me get my work done faster, it's not like I get to home earlier or work less days. I'm just going to get more work piled on me.

    It has always been like that. We invent machines to help us be more productive. Not to work less, but to produce more. Or the same, but with less people. And every time people protest because they are losing their jobs. Time passes, new types of jobs pop up. Rinse and repeat.

    That being said. I'm not particularly on board with A.I. Sure, it can do some really impressive things, but at the same time I think it's been hyped way above its limits, and I'm not a fan of its environmental footprint. I just don't think the result is worth price. But I guess only time will tell.

    You cannot make the world a better place. Easier to invent totalizing simulacra.

    But I have!

    Names I've been called:

    Shakespeare

    Hemingway

    Burroughs

    Kerouac

    Thompson

    Palahniuk

    Buddha

    Christ

    Retard

    Idiot

    Take your meds x 500000

    Pedophile

    Hebephile

    Crackhead

    Meth head

    But NOT pothead! I wasn't good enough to get the job of festival cop, despite being a juggler. Why I switched to righting so much to get so skilled at it. Education IS our best crime deterrent after all, and I've been a crackhead for twelve years now. Has nothing to do with amphetamines. I'm a cop, dummy. I make a difference!
