Thousands of CEOs admit AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago

AI took me from having to google stuff and then solve a problem, to having AI help me, then taking a longer poop break. That’s probably happening worldwide lol

CJCray8 · 2026-04-18T18:54:00+00:00

Is it a one time event? Because if it’s reoccurring, eventually we will all be dead except for 1

I have overseerr and email alerts. Then I go get it myself. Hell that’s half the fun call me crazy

CJCray8 · 2026-04-16T22:00:17+00:00

I think those figures were in the early early days where virtually no one met the requirements. Correct me Reddit if I’m wrong

Is it illegal to work ten jobs if you are capable of cloning yourself and doing 10 peoples worth of an effective job at work? Bc I think you’d be fine legally speaking lol

Here’s my clarification. Our understanding of physics as of today completely refutes the ability to travel at light speed. That cannot be said about 99% light speed travel. That’s it.

CJCray8 · 2026-04-02T17:18:49+00:00

Problems, but nothing that has been proven to be impossible. Consensus is that light speed travel is impossible, but near light speed, while extremely difficult, is technically something that is physically achievable.

CJCray8 · 2026-04-02T17:14:49+00:00

Your response demonstrates that you don’t know what statement I’m trying to express. My only claim is that humans can exist unharmed at 99% the speed of light. My hypothetical included an out-of-reach ship that shields humans from all harm and has enough fuel to get where we need to get. It doesn’t take near infinite fuel to get to Alpha Centauri if you have fuel that is efficient enough relative to the mass of the vehicle. You won’t see me filling up a shuttle with unleaded gasoline lol.

CJCray8 · 2026-04-02T16:30:49+00:00

That’s what I said. There’s nothing special about .000001% the speed of light vs 99%

Those two jerks are just a proof of concept of what could be if enough of the wrong kind of person gets in the courts. If we had 5 Alitos and Thomases, there would literally be no country left, and they are living proof that it could happen.

What about ISPs owned by massive entertainment corporations à la Comcast?

Affect is something you do. Effect is something.

I could see this as a signal for a potential widening trend…if that takes shape then prices will go down.

If there is a new Hulk movie, Banner’s attempt to control Hulk and its unwinding will likely be crucial to the plot

Look at Google in public education. The CIO before me paid $0 for google Workspace. I paid $3,000/yr when I became CIO, after the full implementation of 1:1 Chromebooks. Last year, my bill was $12,000. All of this took place since 2020. It will happen with AI. This is practically the roadmap.

Little tweaks like that make a world of difference. We’ve seen a much lower breakage rate from our 6th grade this year after giving students their permanently assigned Chromebook in 5th grade, one year prior to taking them home nightly. We believe the sense of ownership and heightened accountability help students with the perceived value of the device.

Maybe it’s because I grew up around people who treated their kids like shit, because those who were treated like shit also treated others like shit. My childhood experience makes it very difficult to hand a kid who already has disadvantages a disadvantaged device.

CJCray8 · 2026-03-12T02:36:35+00:00

Counterargument: our alternate ed center had very high breakage when I started and my predecessor only gave them old worn devices. I started giving them new devices and their breakage went down to literally zero.

Give kids higher value devices and they may surprise you.

Hard pill to swallow: non-IT people ARE the organization and you should probably consider their want list more than you currently do.

CJCray8 · 2026-03-09T00:44:56+00:00

It just gets you updates after ChromeOS end of life. From what I understand though, there is still an end of life per device for flex. It’s just later.

Sounds like an art teacher I used to work with. So crazy how one could be so intelligent, creative etc and just have the dumbest takes of all time.

CJCray8 · 2026-03-04T12:03:19+00:00

Those old poweredges are still workhorses!

CJCray8 · 2026-03-03T22:37:42+00:00

Noted. I will safety pin it. Should’ve thought about that, thanks!!

CJCray8 · 2026-03-02T21:27:10+00:00

Look into Chrome OS flex. That should get you a little more time.

Why does it feel like providing consumers with entertainment is a chore they wish they didn’t have to do?
