Least fun? What? No.
Tiring? Yes.

Spoke with many friends recently, designers and engineers, all people who've been doing it for 20 years or more and had a lot of success doing it.

And they all say the same thing. The AI stuff is genuinely useful right now. It's fast and things that used to take a week take an afternoon. Things you never even attempted because there was no time, now you can just do them. It's the biggest enabler ever.

But in the same breath, every single one also says that it's the least fun they've ever had in their entire career. They also mention it makes no sense to do it the old way. They're all in.

It's a strange paradox which I feel myself. Everything is possible now and I've never cared less about any of it. Both things true at once.

Not sure if thats just the feeling of the current moment, or if I just talked to people who're tired of the computer (since all of them been doing it for a long time).

Very much feeling this

[Aaron Levie @levie]

There are at least 2 big but subtle factors contributing to the sense of overwork due to agents right now.

1. The leverage on incremental effort has gone up substantially due to AI, and anyone using these tools tend to feel it first. We’re so used to everything taking so long to get done, that spending that much extra time on something didn’t have the same value.

But now you can sense the compounding leverage you have with agents much more acutely. It feels more like when you’re a people manager and not maximizing what your team is working on. The worst thing you can do is waste your team’s time, point them in the wrong direction, or have them be idle. Now ICs get a similar sense of this via managing agents.

Prioritization and thinking through how to break up tasks and maximize work becomes a key skill.

2. The other rested factor is we’ve just made it so much easier to start incremental tasks that end up taking much longer than we realize. Very easy to get to the 90% solution but the final 10% takes the vast majority of the time. So we are starting far more projects because of the lower barrier, and spending a ton of time to finish the work.

I regularly start a project at 9PM that I think will be quick, and find myself at midnight still completing the work. The interesting thing about this fact is that we’ll use AI to test lots of new ideas an hypothesis, and quickly figure out which areas to continue and sustain.

This will ultimately lead to a lot of the job creation with AI, because teams and companies will decide that the experiment needs to get promoted into a production process. But they wouldn’t have even started that “experiment” without AI in the first place.

This overwork obviously can’t sustain across the economy, but it’s interesting to see how this is shaping things right now.

@JoshWest247 And put a "no drive" fence around SF & Oakland.

[Dzgner // Nate @FullNodeDesign]

Yep.

[Aaron Levie @levie]

Sorry to anyone who thought AI would mean we’d work less (at least for now). AI makes it easy to explore more than you did before, and so you start doing far more as a result.

I regularly have seemingly small things that end up quickly consuming 3 hours because the agent made it easy to get started, but you still have to do the rest of the work to complete the project.

This is work that I wouldn’t previously have handed out to anyone else, it’s just stuff that never got done because it took too long to do fully manually. And, counterintuitively, for some of these tasks as AI gets good enough at doing them, it even becomes economically worth it to hire someone to do it on an ongoing basis with agents. But until you could try doing them at a low cost you would never have tried.

This is why AI won’t automatically reduce work in the way we imagine because work isn’t static. Most companies have far more they can do than they have today, it was just hard to get started on it all because of the natural constraints of time and labor availability.

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds.

Not a guess. Not a theory.

A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it.

Samsung TVs: every minute.
LG TVs: every 15 seconds.

Even when you're just using it as a monitor.
