How about quality of life improvements for everyone on the planet first? I think life /actually/ depends on that.
Goofy energy wasting language models take an extreme backseat; however, this is "private equity world" and the rules are just to rip everyone off regardless of long term outcomes.
What does this comment even mean? I understand all the individual words but in combination it is nonsensical.
What are "quality of life improvements for everyone on the planet"? What does that even mean? Are you proposing some sort of communist system? Why, in response to an entirely unrelated comment on an unrelated topic?
I also feel this way but I am confused why people would want this. Generating from a prompt is still introducing a human step. Why would anyone want something so basic and bland. Then again, I think about the food industry. Fast food sucks but the predictability is really attractive to a lot of people. People like familiar too. It is interesting to watch it unfold.
It's possible to have this remote. The communication style of gen z and younger is entirely remote and also for younger millennials. But in a remote setting there has to be complete trust "in the chat". Just like in office you have to be open to allowing communication and ideas to be voiced. You also have to allow for impromptu video calls which can be disruptive but it's the same at a desk in office. I remember having to put up signs "do not disturb" that people promptly ignored. It's the same but different. My opinion is that what is happening now is just an uncomfortable generational shift. There is a very wide age range in the tech workforce because it's not limited by physical ability.
I'd say another generational issue here is that informal digital communication is often seen as 'unprofessional' by the older generations in a way informal in person conversations are not. If you greet someone with a high five and a 'how's it hanging?' in person, that's fine and you making connections, but if you use emoji/abbreviations/gifs/deliberately are informal in your digital communication, it's 'unprofessional'. The only reference points the elders in the office have for digital communication is email: The most formal of digital communication media.
I'm a core/elder Millennial and there's a wide gulf in how I communicate in a Teams chat with my immediate team versus how I communicate via email to an external party. I find that a lot of Gen X+ people bring a really sterile, HR approved vibe to all their digital communications and then complain there's no way to build relationships. (Not all - my supervisor is a Gen X former teacher and he manages informal digital communication fine, as do the few Gen X and Boomer coworkers who've been online for decades.)
Yea that makes sense. Its a huge gap in communication styles. A tech team plus upper management could easily go from 23 to 65. Unfortunately I think it just means that the younger generations have a rough time. They have much less power and influence.
Agreed. This is one reason I am so open and informal in certain digital communications at work. I'm in my mid-30s so I'm old enough to be a 'real adult' in the work place and be the change you want to see and all that.
Yea it would be more efficient to have "living pods" essentially little chambers where the employee can sleep in after a long 16 hour day a work. The personal home emits too much energy and waste. It would be better for the employee to just go into the pod, plug in their nutritional tube, and watch netflix for a few hours before falling into an induced asleep at the mandated time as set by their work schedule.
