Comment on Jeff Bezos claims AI could allow 3-day workweeks; man who won't give employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

I have always said, since the dawn of modern computing, we’ve been becoming more efficient and require less hours. If anything, we could work 3x 6 hour days already even without AI.

It used to take days for insurance quotes, buying a car (financing), and many other technical tasks… Now, everything is so instant. But the workload keeps increasing to keep us poors busy.

Jeff Bezos saying this, is fucking dumb, because he’s just trying to sell us AI in the idea we’ll work less. BS. Even if we did work less, how does that make households survive on 1 income? So fucking full of shit, all billionaires. Detached from reality.

It’s almost as if 5 days is the most sustainable amount of work you can consistently squeeze out of someone and the prices will always rise to ensure it will take that amount or more to survive. 🤔

Sounds like a rigged game on a treadmill to me.
