"Why Is Everyone In Tech So Sad?
A lot of people seem to be realizing that knowledge work is mostly pointless. AI might give us the pleasure of finding out what happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers.
(. . .)
Among my Knowledge Worker peers, I am hearing this more and more often: people who want to pick up pottery, painting, crochet or other old-timey analog hobbies. In coffee shops and in the low-lit corners of bars, professionals are sharing dreams of 'disappearing' or 'living on a farm somewhere' or 'going off the grid.' These aren’t fantastical daydreams; they are visions of escape shared in a tone that betrays an underlying existential angst, a fundamental doubt about work and careerism inspired by a seemingly increasingly common experience: waking up one morning at an existential precipice, struck with a sudden sense that knowledge work is, and perhaps always has been, pointless. Perhaps you too have felt such a feeling, a rising tide of overwhelming, indescribable melancholy, slowly threatening to envelop you in your Ikea office chair."

@augieray this is such an old recurring issue. <sarcasm >I guess the ultimate solution is to replace all #knowledgeworkers with #ai. Too bad it’s not ready for prime time. https://spectrum.ieee.org/chip-design-ai </sarcasm>

Again way late but you need to hear Craig’s message!
No more work for the man till Monday. Hit the showers and rest up.
Been a long week, paid for union labor work, and contributed to our world in a small way.
Now more than ever it’s time to give and teach #techworkers and #knowledgeworkers the skills and protections they deserve. #unionize tech work.

When in the #COVID19 crisis their employees began working from home, many #managers experienced #ProductivtyParanoia . With the arrival of #AI , I’m afraid we may witness a resurgence of this “paranoia”, especially concerning #KnowledgeWorkers .

By serving as a forum for “ordinary” workers, #ProcessedWorld has reinforced the often suppressed truth that social knowledge and subversive wisdom flow from people's daily lives and not from an ideology or group of experts. By building a radical publication around art and humour, PW has reemphasised the importance of immediate enjoyment, both for surviving this insane world, and for reintroducing fun into radical attempts to change it.

#GenerativeAI is here to stay.
As knowledge workers, we must adapt & embrace these tools responsibly. To do so, we must first know the limits, seek permission, master prompts & be open to opportunities.
Have you started to see generative AI’s impact?
