I’m guessing you’ve got a study that backs that assertion up as well?

Thank you for your public service announcement!

I know this a gross oversimplification, but:

“Remote working benefit those with a reason to stay home, but doesn’t for those who don’t have a reason to stay home” seems to be the general idea of the headline.

edit: I think this is the study they’re talking about, please double check the source before quoting: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36718392/

ain’t no harm skibidi ohio guy, don’t got time fo the low-rizz crowd, no cap

If I could have crowbarred “moist” in there somewhere too, I’d have set the lexical tiktok on fire.

…if there is even one, don’t come at me TNETENNBA fans!

Yeah it’s a shame that Musk is so inextricably linked with the brand. I’m quite sure SpaceX and Tesla are full of top tier talent and engineering wizards… but have a direct link to a toxic cockwomble that bankrolls them. Shame.

I haven’t, no - and you’re probably right, yes.

I worry that if I start playing KSP then my other half and kids won’t see me again for six months because it does sound fucking awesome and highly rewarding.

Nope, I’m a simple man. I play through a couple of Doom WADs each summer in the academic off-season and that’s my gaming appetite satiated.

I’m surprised I strung so many together coherently to be honest!

Speaking as a layman, I just think it’s fuckin’ awesome how a big chonky boi can be propelled upwards at Mach Yeet and get casually dropped off in orbit.

Even though Musk is a cunt, I still love watching SpaceX streams to see big bits of metal get put upwards by lots of fire and noise, and then fuckin’ land where they started seven or eight minutes later.

Science is fuckin mint, man.

Computerphile did a wonderful feature worth ten minutes of your time - going into surface level detail of how some AI models put ethics to one side to achieve results.

It’s not just AI and it’s something humans can do too, but it is a bit unsettling (from both parties, in retrospect).

I fucking love AI.

I’ll qualify that with a small personal story on it: I have a colleague in a nearby office the other side of the city, who steps into supervise his team when the actual manager isn’t there. Nice bloke, not much banter, but pleasant enough.

You can fucking guarantee though that when a division-wide email has gone out, or a change of plan comes in… he’s right on the phone to me asking what to do.

The first few times it was cute. A guy must really love his job or hate himself to go into junior management, so walking him through routine tasks he may not have been exposed to may be beneficial to him in the long run.

The problem is, it’s near constant. Every single time something changes, he calls - not for advice, not for opinion, but “can you do this for my team too?”. What really pulls a hair out of my arse is that there’s a 50/50 chance of it being something I’ve already showed him. I’ve spoken to his actual manager at exasperated length but it’s just a can kicked down the road with a “well he’s still learning, isn’t he?”

I suppose he is, and I’m no teacher. When he phones now, I just tell him “mate our org has access to that fancy new Microsoft Copilot, it’s fuckin’ mint bro, solves all your problems”, knowing fine well the disaster that’s about to happen - partly to expose him to new technologies, but mainly to be a smug cunt.

Invariably, he gets solutions that don’t quite work, or ideas that don’t quite fit the brief… and it’s satisfying as fuck getting the follow-up call and saying “sorry bruv, Copilot is smarter than me, which isn’t hard” or “nah sorry dude, it gives you a personalised response so that’ll be outside of my domain, making my suggestions worthless”.

Fucking love it. It has reduced my workload immensely.
