This is honestly extremely fucking obvious.
We can't have a remote work paradigm for two main reasons.
1] C Suite / Managers are narcissistic sociopaths who need to feel important, competent, dominant and better than people, in person.
2] Moving to a remote work paradigm would crater commerical real estate values. This is far from impossible to fiscally manage without catastrophe, but it would expose the immense amount of fraud and corruption going on in that sector.
That's it.
Every other talking point you've ever heard against remote work are rationalizations to avoid these two points.
... the skill set and task set that LLMs are currently most well suited to replace in the workforce are C Suite and Upper Management.
Those are also the most expensive employees and the ones most likely to make catastrophic or consistent mistakes.
But they enjoy having a lot of money and power, so, we get clown world where they do everything they can to gaslight us to avoid realizing this.
Our entire business is remote and work from home unless they need to be in the field. Currently the execs support it because we provided overwhelming documentation about the productivity going up.
But we had to work for it, in the sense that we needed to change how we did business, to accomodate for writing things down, asynchronous work etc.
But our biggest threat to all this are certain managers, like you mentioned, and these weirdos who think we should have friends at work. They want to get together and nothing kills remote work faster than hybrid meetings. They start to blather on about needing more hall meetings and knowledge from "bumping into someone". They can bump into whoever they want on teams, stop with the damn hybrid meetings!
And the dumbest part of this is we already had several office hundreds of miles away from each other. We already we not bumping into most of our 7000 employees.
LLMs aren't even good at management. They gave one like $30k to run a coffee shop and it did shit like buy several years worth of rubber gloves and thousands of cans of tomato sauce. Iirc it spent $21k and only made like $5.6k
Didn't they perform really good in that test recentlyish?
Yep. Luna performed exceptionally well and is currently running a profit at Anthropic's shop.
That's been kinda swept under the rug though; not sure why
