You will machine generate the meeting agenda. My machine will read the meeting agenda, read your personal growth plan, read your VP's quarterly objectives, and tell me what you need in the meeting, and I will send an AI to attend the meeting to share the 20 minute version of my three bullet point response.
Knowing that this will happen, you do not attend your own meeting, and read the AI summary. We then call it a day and go out for drinks at 2pm.

- konfusinomicon 3y agoonce they get around all the bugs causing cross bot sexual harassment, we are doomed
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoHumans are legally and contractually required. No, seriously, there are rules having nothing to do with AI that require certain things to be done by separate individuals, implying that you need at least two humans.
- dustingetz 3y agothe purpose of the system is to move cashflows through the managers of the system so they can capture. So no sufficiently large system can get rid of the humans it is designed to move money through unless there is some catastrophic watershed moment, like last year, where it becomes acceptable and an organizational imperative to shed managers. Remember, broadly the purpose of employees is to increase manager headcount so manager can get promoted to control larger cashflows.
- asdff 3y agoNever. 100 years of unparalleled technological progress and productivity gains have lead to a society where 96.3% of the american labor pool is forced to work. Why should AI be any different than any of the "job saving" inventions that came before?
- weberer 3y agoBecause you don't have to pay AI.
- JeremyNT 3y agoIn the AI utopia, "knowledge work" is delegated to computers, and the humans who used to do productive and rewarding things will simply do bullshit jobs [0] instead. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_job https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_job
- asdff 3y agoEven already today, a lot of knowledge work jobs have a lot of overlap with the bullshit working with excel sort of office jobs especially when you consider what you are actually doing day to day and week to week.
- pixl97 3y agoAh yes, the more better technology makes more, better jobs for horses argument.
- asdff 3y agoI must have forgotten about the lines of people on every block looking for work as a stable hand
- datadrivenangel 3y agoFully automated communism is when we all agree to cut back on meetings and spend 35 hours a week goofing off in our cube.
- neilv 3y agoTrue. Meanwhile, Sally in IT is still earnestly thinking 10x more than all stakeholders in her meetings combined, and is baffled why the company can't execute, almost as if no one else is actually doing their job. You and I will receive routine paychecks, bonuses, and promos, but poor Sally's stress from a dysfunctional environment will knock decades off her healthy lifespan. Before then, if the big-corp has gotten too hopeless, I suppose that the opportunistic thing to do would be to find the Sallys in the company, and co-found a startup with them.
