It's already cooked Bernie. It's a charred dead carcass.

But think of the productivity if we had AI and a 7 day workweek! /s

I think the plan is that a lot of people get a 0 day work week. That's one of the problems.

2 day work week. Standard hours for a work week are just like the minimum wage. They've been stagnant for decades and haven't adjusted according to company profits and worker productivity increases.

2 days. Why would you ask for 4? That puts you in a shitty bargaining position.

That's cool and all but what about maximum salary hours?

Pfff that's coward numbers. I'll do you one better:

We should get a 3-day work week.

Human productivity alone warranted a 4-day workweek. With AI benefits added in, we should be going down to 3.

Meanwhile, in Germany: There are a lot of unemployed people, and there are a lot of people who want a four-day week, so what we desperately need is working longer hours.

Jevons Paradox

Yeah, I just graced with a glorious 0-day work week. There is no chance ANY of this “productivity” will get anywhere near workers. It’s just a new, exciting way to centralize wealth and power. And if the models get as “intelligent” as the claim they will in 5 years, then with a helping of slavery to boot, ones they are “as smart or smarter” than humans, just without pesky things like rights…
