> Remember when AI was going to take away our jobs and leave humans with nothing to do? So far, that doesn’t seem to be happening. Researchers from ActivTrak analyzed the digital activity of more than 10,000 workers and found that when people adopted AI, their work life became more intense, not less. The time that these early adopters spent on email, messaging, and chat apps more than doubled. Their use of business software rose by 94 percent.

Yeah, that's cause they get paid per hour. Improvements to technology just mean they get squeezed harder.

I'm self employed and I'm getting way more done with way less effort. I can just take it easy now.

Offtopic: When you're self-employed, every corporate talk and especially open position descriptions cringes you to the other side of the universe. I just discovered a whole new level: employee metrics.

I am salaried and I don't use AI and i still work less than 20hr/week for fixed pay.

Shrink that denominator, baby!

Thank you for daily dose of things which didn't happen brought to us by mama hotel pyjama gansgter.

But you are correct. Working 0 hours/week is less than 20 hours/week.

You’re credulous about the concept of someone working part time?

Partime jobs are for people which doesn't have time for fulltime jobs (like students), or people with schedule not suitable for fulltime job (like single mothers), or elderly with low pensions.

All these jobs are for unqualified (minimum training max.) workforce, with low pay and big turnaround of workforce. Literally to supplement fulltime employees for peak period of day (like waitresses at night).

Nothing to support a normal life (decent living, decent car, some vacations). Noone capable of working qualified fulltime job would downgrade their living standards to "bare minimum" of people having only partime jobs.

People living in mamma hotel bubble have hard time understanding how all their bullshit is easily debunked by people living outside that bubble.

Nothing to support

Feels like there’s a lot of projection going on there.

I’ve worked with a lot of professionals over the years who chose to work part time (and have done myself too). Various reasons, but mostly it boiled down to valuing their time and wellbeing more than grinding full time.

The thing about “living standards” is, like many standards they change depending on your priorities.

Please give us list of the imaginary professions you and all your imaginary friends worked as parttime.

Lets have a laugh.
