> The only way it will result in less work and the same or better quality of life is if you’re self-employed or are employed by a compassionate human. Sadly that does not apply to the majority of people.

Even that is unlikely. If you are self-employed in any remotely competitive industry, everyone is continuing to work the same amount and AI is boosting their productivity. If you just start slacking off, your product will become inferior.

This then extends to the employment situation as well.

Tech workers get paid in equity and many in the semiconductor industry are making far far more than this a year with all the equity appreciation.

How does delaying the release not solve anything? It puts everyone on a notice to fix all security vulnerabilities now

I hate waiting on hold for 30 minutes even more.

There's literally a link on the blog post to an article noting they hit $150M ARR.

Voice agents have capabilities and policy to alter customer state. Just the other day I called into a CC company and the AI waived an interest charge.
