I am amazed they haven’t unionized.

    Buy a pair of big clunky headphones that are comfortable to wear and keep them on - you’d be amazed how many coworkers will think twice when they see headphones.

    This is absolutely the real reason… Everyone who knows shit knows it’s bullshit, but they want their commercial rent back.

    Open seating facilitates headphone sales!

    CEOs will never admit shit until they’re paid to do so.

    Nah, that title knows what the fuck it’s implying and it’s doing it for the clicks.

    Elon has lost his grip on reality - he’s now fully delusional and just making shit up as he goes.

    He is incredibly dangerous to society.

    If you think you’re being low balled then refuse the offer and more power to you.

    Actually, I don’t know if you’ve done hiring before but to get to an interview the company has already spent a decent chunk of change on vetting and review. Refusing an offer at the last minute definitely sucks for the employer.

    Millennials are considered young people? Well, that just made my day.

    Hey, studies show 8/4 wouldn’t appreciably lower productivity. Why the fuck should I give my employer anything else?

    xmunk ,

    I suspect that longer working hours includes the 10/4 crowd.

    Five years older than me? Tell me, what was it like working by candlelight to invent electricity with only the warm sound of eight tracks to keep you steady at night? Was Millard Fillmore as awesome as people say? Did you prefer having a coffee with Oscar Wilde or Cleopatra?

    I always thought our inexplicable youth was owed to all the Avocado toast we snarf down instead of buying houses.

    … is this satire? Why the fuck would you give four years of warning for managers to document “a slow accumulation of poor performance” and other bullshit to shit can pro-union employees. A large strike takes coordination, but four years is ridiculous.

    That makes a lot more sense. Thanks!

    Fucking good. In office is unnecessary and unproductive for these kinds of jobs.

    If your first reaction to criticism is to discount it as artificial I would suggest taking stock of yourself and how you engage in discussions.

    AI/ML is an extremely broad field, while some assholes do have terrible motives most of the work is tool building. We build tools to help do things that are monotonous or difficult for humans to do so people can focus on more creative work… while acknowledging that the field carries some extreme dangers if misused. AI alone isn’t the problem, the concentration of wealth is devastating to society and we need to fix that before AI makes it worse - but AI itself is a tool that can be used for good.

    I think you’re taking a far too narrow view if you can state that it’s not positive. At my company we’ve managed to drastically reduce the amount of dumb menial stuff that people have to do and we haven’t fired people when we’ve improved productivity. In some cases AI is going to be terribly misused but it’s a tool and we should use it to make people’s lives better.

    I agree that this tool could be used to cause great harm, similar to most of our other tools. The problem isn’t with the tool though, this tool could be a great gift to all of us, the problem is with the people who choose how the tool is used. Those people are causing massive social issues whether we have the tool or not.

    But, I reject the previous statement that the tool will be a net negative. We have the power to fix our social issues and that will allow the tool to be a force for good.

    It is rage inducing… (but the creator is awesome and has a patreon!)
