People Who Will Thrive in the AI Age

So like always, the people who get shafted the hardest are the chronically ill, the fatigued, the ADHD, or even the depressed.

> 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.

I had the same problem long before AI. At university we'd often be presented with some historical problem in computer science. Immediately the professor would go to the next slide, and spoil the solution! So I made a habit of covering my eyes and ears, so I could actually think about it myself.
