I don't think I'll ever understand this perspective. To my ears, all the AI hype and profoundly ignorant economic fantasies sound exactly like the bidet hype of the 2010s.

You can't have a revolution based entirely on not having to wipe your ass (except when you still do because bidets are garbage).

Unless you are fresh out of college and working at some lame startup or coding sweatshop, mature white collar work has always been pretty damn close to "not having to work".

Are we using the same kind of bidet? Or maybe we have to very different diets?

For me they're a huge upgrade.

Haha I agree. Although my bidet is phenomenal, air conditioned white collar work has always felt like a lucky getaway from real work to me.
