And here I thought AI was gonna automate the world and we were gonna work less.

Turns out you’re gonna work 24/7 no matter where you are!

This is a very myopic and unnecessary cynical sentiment. It's not about you - agents just need to run without your computer being on all the time. Coding is a background task that needs to run unattended now.

This is absolutely not true. I run dozens of Opus agents all day and they need so much constant attention and babysitting (lest everything turn to sh*t) that I would not qualify it anywhere close to “background”. And I’m sure as hell not wrangling these things from my *phone*.

What would it take to remove yourself from the loop so your agents can go parabolic and kick off the singularity?

(Have them cover their own token costs, hehe).

if i didn't have to prompt it to learn from its mistakes and it just "intuitively" knew to do that

Why not work the same amount and be at your desk less?

your boss will probably prefer the colleague that can now work more, and isn't occasionally absent from their desk

The same reason I don’t have social media apps on my phone.
