> Slacking off

I laughed when I read this, but there is something to it. I like to say "intellectual relaxation" or take a break. Sometimes getting up from your desk to do some mindless admin task like photocopy a document for HR can free up your mind. If we were line workers at a factory, this would be mandated breaks. Business/Financial newspapers and factory executives love the old quote: "With robots, they never need a break, never need holiday, and can work 24x7." With the advent of agentic LLMs, a tiny fraction of that reality is leaking into the white collar world.
