Wake me up when the AI travels to the network PoPs for me to replace broken parts, to install new transponder cards and new routers, to cable everything up correctly, to label it all and to photograph the result for documentation.
So, end capitalism and build a fully automated post-scarcity utopia where machines do all the work and humans spend our lives doing the things we really want to do?
Sounds good bro, let's do it.
Something tells me this offer applies to ruling class only
We're not that naive
He's the one who ordered all the zoom employees to RTO right? Are we supposed to expect him to let people go to the beach?
Yes please
Jokes aside but in the not so distant future you will be able to clone your image and voice and just pay some third-World guy to pretend to be you in video calls while you pay him a cut from the salary
And what… my work will still pay me???
I don’t think so.
You guys don't have paid vacation or something?
Sure, but not endlessly.
We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.
I enjoy what I do, for the most part, and take pride in my work.
What he understands as "work" is easily replaceable with an AI. Good to know.
I also want this. But Zoom is a corporation, so it must be some sort of trick.
"and all your income from these calls will go to zoom"
As an employee you can enroll in our voluntary PTO insurance coverage benefit to only pay 40% of your salary to zoom while on PTO, you get to keep 60%!
If jobs consisted of only attending video calls and wiring emails, the world would be a very different place.
I honestly don’t know if this would be like letting toddlers run a daycare or if it would be paradise.
Honestly, I have trouble imagining such a world. Hmmm... The more I think about it, the more it just kinda sounds like high school... Sends shivers down my spine.
Well we're getting there in tech...
As a developer I have to say OH hell nah. If I had to compare the issue to something more layman, I'd compare it to tesla's self driving. If I have to watch it the entire time it does its thing because there's an almost certain chance it'll mess something up CATASTROPHICALLY due to the fact that it literally lacks the ability to understand, than I might as well just do it my self. It rarely saves time and only in dumb cases, that should have been automated in other ways a long time ago.
Not saying it's not a very handy tool occasionally, just that it can't come up with solutions to problems on its own, which is like 75% of my work. And it can't do this due to a fundamental limitation in how learning models work, no amount of training will fix this.
We're getting close to 100% meetings and bullshit reportings in tech was what I tried to convey.
Sounds like the kind of work my analyst does. I guess he's technically part of the development team, so sure??? Our 3 client mediators are totally taking over. Also pretty sure we're the only IT department that even has such a thing. The only other person in our IT branch to be mainly doing calls and such is the top head of IT, every other IT boss still has a lot of technical work around their necks. So at least at my job "close to 100%" is an absolute farcry.
It's a very similar story at my girlfriend's work place. Except they don't even have analysts.
They want this, until Zoom employees start using it.
The Zoom RTO was just hilarious.
Ah yes, because in our economic system, people with no job can just relax at the beach all day.
This sounds like employed with extra steps.
s/at the beach/while your unemployed/
Zoom CEO is obviously an idiot. Who listens to those people?
That's not the question. It's how do these rot economists get into these leading postions and how do we prevent this?
You must be a ruthless piece of work to become a CEO
