Think of all the water cooler conversations it's missing out on, or the team building

Maybe the AI's server is in the office?

This is very likely not even true.

Well, of course! If you exist as meat, we must experience you in meatspace!

I mean, a business will put up with a lot more when they don't have to actually pay for labor.

This is all in service of being able to say they’ve achieved AGI even if they almost certainly have not. What AGI means to them is likely not what most people think.

Because Sam Altman can't raise hundreds of billions of dollars by just saying he's making software

It is a bit funny to see the leopards come for the face of the commerical real estate companies after they spent so much money on lobbying and PR against work from home.

Can somebody think how this is going to hurt the culture of the company? 🤣🤣🤣

It’s always been about maintaining power over employees. Virtual employees gives away that game.

But how will this affect team cohesion? How will the other team members who are flesh and blood bond with the "virtual employee" if they aren't in the office? How long before all employees are "virtual" and there are no more jobs for actual, honest-to-dog human beings?

I was just thinking the same thing.

If AI can replace any job, they can replace his job.

glostermeteor.bsky.social•62 days ago

I tried out an AI tool from a very well known company. It was total shite. A bit like those chat bots you get on websites. Absolutely no replacement for a human being.
