So things that can already happen. It's also a huge leap to say that anyone will give ai full control over all computers. That's like saying nuclear power is going to kill us all because we're all going to have Davy Crockett tactical nukes. Like I guess that's possible but it's so extremely unlikely that I don't get the hysteria. I think it's articles trying to scare people to get clicks and views.

So, stuff that's already possible.

And without arms or legs?

Well, enlighten us.

Yeah, I think that any employee who can get away with not focusing should. It's a symptom of bad management. If a given job is such that an employee can complete all their tasks in 20h of work, they should do that and it's on a manager to know that and give them more tasks. "quiet quitting" is a bullshit nothing term.

Former employee from the layoffs in May 23. In my experience yes. Lütkes words here are insane as are many of the other recent headlines from the company, but I can say that the severance packages were extremely generous, in my opinion.

How is that better

The concept of quiet quitting always struck me as bullshit in general. Like if your employees can do that, if they're able to just sort of log in and barely do anything, then they should. That's the manager's fault and responsibility to keep employees engaged or demand more from them. If the minimum amount of work isn't enough for the manager, then it isn't really the minimum, right?
