Page doesn't load for me. I'm in the UK, not sure if geoblocked. But a response to the title: "_buzzword tech_ is making us work more" - it's rarely the tech making us work more, it's normally the behaviour and attitude of businesses trying to profit from the tech that makes life hard for everyone.

Adding a data point: it's not loading in the US either.

Yes, this is why it's better to be a contractor/individual right now. You need to capture this efficiency yourself. You have access to the same tools faster than BigCos, so go hard in the paint. If you estimate 3h, and it takes 15m it's up to you how to reconcile this. Personally I bill the 3h.

One could simply work less. Even if you're full in the office, you can just use that extra time to learn something new.

That's only going to be possible for a short time, as your competitors will bill 15 minutes and you'll have to explain why you need 3h.

The page doesn't load, so I'll just add that we need AI that can clean up after AI.. but this might be difficult, because AI accepting AI output as input seems to be more likely to get "infected" and return the same AI crap.

The recursive self improving AI is the pipe dream.

until it works
