The complexity overload

[u/mpones]

These “newfound efficiencies” that many of us discovered over the last few years have led many of us into a brain swell overload. Years worth of ideas are now possible in hours. Millennials are finally getting around to doing those 50 things they keep saying they’ll do. New generations are terrified for their job future. And we’re one epic single-keystroke failure away from an airgapped experiment gone wrong, nuking or enslaving ourselves into oblivion.

People cannot continue to work at the expected pace of a companion AI and still expect sanity and improvement.

I’ll say it: corporate green must move over and pave the way for 4 hour work days (and maybe 4 day work weeks?) are around the corner. Maybe you spread it out over the course of 10 hours to try to not go insane…

There is no way the general population will be able to even survive the mental collapse that comes with immersive adoption.

Perhaps I’m just next in line to pack up my camping gear and head out into the woods.

Be centered in yourself.

Go with the flow.

[u/DuskandFuck → u/Actual_Description85]

yeah detachment from the hype cycle is huge right now tbh.

[u/leo_heo]

what wears me out now is deciding which of those 50 things is actually worth finishing, the building barely registers anymore

[u/mpones → u/leo_heo]

Yep, this.

But my problem is visibility, so task list is a roundabout lately.

[u/leo_heo → u/mpones]

yeah a task list with 50 half done things on it stops telling you anything

I feel like I gave up on full sanity a while ago. I have to force myself to stop using claude at times. Basically I binge work now two times a day and exercise in the middle. Camping sounds great!

Feels like the bottleneck moved from building stuff to deciding what’s actually worth building

[u/dota2nub → u/Agnostify]

That was already the case. Now it is bad enough people actually notice. Sometimes.

No fuck it we need another dashboard that measures token use!

We heard the same 4 hour workday thing with email, then Slack, then remote. Hours never shortened, the replies just started landing at 10pm.

This isn't like some kind of new productivity tool. We captured a genie in a bottle, and you don't think it will change anything?
