Concerned about its workers losing brainpower as they outsource work to artificial intelligence, Dropbox is considering using cognitive training tools, like memory exercises and attention-span training, to keep them mentally sharp.

I'm very concerned about the future of The Onion. We have reached a point where the actual news is more absurd than satirical "news".

Dropbox is considering using cognitive training tools, like memory exercises and attention-span training, to keep them mentally sharp.

You know, work can be pretty good as memory and attention exercises.

They needed this before “AI.” As there’s some evidence social media was already ruining attention spans.

TBH I have felt some degradation myself. And I’m more social media skeptic than most because, well… gestures at being on Lemmy.

Most companies won’t do this, though. That would require worrying about the company’s health years out, rather than next quarter.

executives practice breathwork and put aside their electronic devices

Headspace for workers, retreats for executives. HR bullshit.

Is it dumb to ask if solving the puzzles will be used to train more AI?
