I think this is an interesting perspective that aligns with some of my current views on AI. It absolutely does pose some very clear questions about intentionality and defining what we actually value in life. Although, I think if we were willing to put in the effort on simply not doing a lot of the “non-valuable thinking” that we are “supposed to be” or “feeling like we have to be” outsourcing to shitty AI, the world would be a much better place and also one that needs very little environmentally destructive AI usage to thrive. Why the fuck do I need project management if nobody but me actually cares when, or if the project ever gets done? Am I doing this for other people or am I doing this for myself? Time is money? Maybe, but money is also the root of all evil. I’d rather take my time back, let the schedule go fuck itself, and it’ll be done when it’s done and whenever I feel like it, or if I feel like it. Maybe that’s not a great way to run a business, but it’s a great way to run my life, and business can go fuck itself too.
