Bezos wasn't necessarily lying. You have to look at it from his perspective... you see, he doesn't see the rest of us as people. He and his billionaire class plan on working 3 days a week. |

I have always said, since the dawn of modern computing, we've been becoming more efficient and require less hours. If anything, we could work 3x 6 hour days already even without AI. It used to take days for insurance quotes, buying a car (financing), and many other technical tasks... Now, everything is so instant. But the workload keeps increasing to keep us poors busy. Jeff Bezos saying this, is fucking dumb, because he's just trying to sell us AI in the idea we'll work less. BS. Even if we did work less, how does that make households survive on 1 income? So fucking full of shit, all billionaires. Detached from reality. |

Bezos is right. 100%. We could have that with AI. But oligarch trash like him will fight tooth and nail to prevent it from happening. |

It's at least a bit nice of them to plan working a bit more. |

It's almost as if 5 days is the most sustainable amount of work you can consistently squeeze out of someone and the prices will always rise to ensure it will take that amount or more to survive. ๐ค Sounds like a rigged game on a treadmill to me. |

All we need is AI and a guillotine. Honestly, just the guillotine would probably get us a 3 day work week. |

Bullshit. Capitalist rat-race culture will never normalize this. You'll just end up managing 33 different AIs for 16h a day and barely paying rent and you know it. |

Automation makes wealth. The problem with automation is that billionares steal the gains from everyone else. The problem with AI is that it automates very little and is wasteful. |

He's already given thousands of his employees 0 day work weeks in favor of AI. Maybe he's eyeing the fast food strategy of keeping hours under the requirement to provide health insurance. |

Yeah this stuff is rage bait. If workers ever get 3 day work week, they will simply get half their salary as well. For most people you can't pay your bills with half your salary. I'm getting tired of seeing tech make everything worse for human beings. It was not the idea from the start. This is because big tech has become as powerful as entire countries. And their culture is about max profits, of course. All of this was predicted in many books and scifi movies but still we are unable to stop this development. |

This is exactly what will happen. If you can do your work in half the time, you'll just get more work. Simple as that. |

i mean, that would be the appropriate use for any tech: reduce workload, better invome, more free time. i just have an inkling, that people like bezos would not be in favour of paying their employees the same or more for less work hours... |

There are some people out there that have the power to create policies but also for some reason want to do good for people in general. Except that they don't understand tech. Also, to help others make excuses for adding AI. |

36 hours, 12 hour shifts, no breaks, and still not a full 40 to qualify for full-time benefits. Thatโs what heโd do. |

The people working may have 3 day weeks, but they'll get paid for 3 day weeks, and 50% of the population will have 0 day weeks because they'll be unemployed. He's basically saying that we won't have a need for most full-time positions in the future. Just someone to replace the ink/toner, lubricate a few moving parts, update some software, replace some worn parts, etc. |

Fuck off! The industrial revolution should have given us 4 day workweeks decades ago. But, we have been so propagandized and called lazy if we don't work until we are dead, that people forgot that life is not about the job. |
