A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

If ai could let people do 5 days of work in 3 days, imagine what they can do in 7!

This is exactly what will happen. If you can do your work in half the time, you'll just get more work. Simple as that.

But the pay will increase :D. Right?

Well no, because now a portion of what you'd be paid needs to go to the billionaires who own the datacentres and the LLMs. :)

I learned that in my first official job. Being a good worker just makes you a sucker. I still am a good worker, the best usually, but I have rarely even gotten an attaboy for it. Luckily I am self (un)employed now for some time.
