Alright guys, I'm running for president. 4 day work weeks (8 hours each) for employees or prison. | ||

You could likely get some funding for a PAC based around this. You just have to get Altman, Musk, and the other to realize that it’s a good marketing move. “Our AI is so awesome and boosts productivity so much that no one has to work another 5 day week, ever again.” | ||

You have my vote. Work to live, don’t live to work. ~90% of Iceland is on a 35-36 hours work week, seems to work fine. Remote work was also skeptically thought of up until a global pandemic forced it, and while there has been some retreat, 20% of Americans work remotely in some capacity still. Just need a catalyst to challenge norms and rigid mental models. https://autonomy.work/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/ICELAND_4DW... https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/25/business/iceland-shorter-work... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/21/icelan... | ||
