I am glad for you at an individual level, but isn't part of this about understanding aggregate effects?

Neither you nor anyone can really know those without talking it out with people, to understand how all corners of the human experience are seeing things play out

If I were to just care if it's working out for me, that's perhaps like a farmer who's got a lot of dry good in storage being like "I'm all good" while not realizing how much trouble they're in if all their neighbors start starving after a drought...

Sounds like the fine-grain experience of being you is settled, but that doesn't say much about the larger coarse-grained experience of being you in society. People need to talk to tell you how that's gonna play out for you

I find your comment extremely arrogant and condescending. Society will adapt and they don't need people gatekeeping AI or LLMs with all sorts of prophecies and dooming.

Why should I feel bad about working 3 remote jobs with the help of AI ?

You apparently find any comment with so much as a hint of disagreement as “arrogant and condescending”.

Why participate on a public forum if that’s how you’re going to react?

I'm not sure what your parent thinks arrogant and condescending mean either. Both you and your sibling commenter were very professional imo

Do your three employers know that you're doing this? if not, it's fraud, and you'd better hope that they don't catch on. Check your employment paperwork.

explain to me how it is fraud when they are satisfied with the work and im hitting all their milestones why would I tell them I am working for 3 employers how does that serve my interest and why do you insist on having employers have all the edge in the relationship and non as the employee for the first time i have rid the shackles of the bondage as old as the industrial revolution thanks to AI and your response is to continue being a good honest slave for one master ???? that makes no sense to me what do you gain by not diversifying your employment income in this economy seems rather foolish not to work for multiple employees

if i get caught I just replace them with another remote job thank you for your concern

Holy run-on sentence batman, maybe you do need AI.

Your employers are (likely, some assumption here) paying for the productivity of a full time employee. You have figured out that they're satisfied with a third of that productivity.

You are the reason why there are so many return-to-office mandates, because you're projecting the idea that remote employees cannot be trusted. You're making it worse for everyone. Good luck.

Edit, added after the original reply: You are also taking 3 jobs in a market where many people struggle to find one. You are hoarding resources. Enjoy the 3 paychecks, also rot in hell.

You sound very upset and angry but there is no need to use curse words and shift all the blame on me. I just figured out a way to make AI work for me, I am qualified to work the jobs, that doesn't mean I am gate keeping it.

More importantly I am not responsible for other's employment situation, that's on them, there are plenty of remote jobs out there, just keep your head up, and I'm sure you will land on your feet.

I apologize for my language. I was recently burned by an coworker who was moonlighting, and they left me with a really big mess to clean up (both technically and politically). Just know that your behavior has an effect on those around you; bugs leak information, and cost money. Reviewing 3 programmer's worth of output is a lot of work, and it's only a matter of time before something gets missed.

and what does that have to do with me ?

Fraud is normal in the current economy. The more fraud you do, the more you are rewarded. Everywhere from the highest levels to the lowest.
