🚹BREAKING: Berkeley researchers spent 8 months inside a tech company watching how employees actually use AI. The promise was simple: AI will save you time. Do less. Work smarter. The opposite happened. Workers didn't use AI to finish early and go home. They used it to take on more. More tasks. More projects. More hours. Nobody asked them to. They did it to themselves. The researchers sat inside the company two days a week for 8 months. They watched 200 employees in real time. They tracked work channels. They conducted 40 interviews across engineering, product, design, and operations. Here's what they found. AI made everything feel faster, so people filled every gap. They sent prompts during lunch. Before meetings. Late at night. The natural stopping points in the workday disappeared. People ran multiple AI agents in the background while writing code, drafting documents, and sitting in meetings simultaneously. It felt like momentum. It felt productive. But when they stepped back, they described feeling stretched, busier, and completely unable to disconnect. 83% said AI increased their workload. Not decreased. Increased. 62% of associates and 61% of entry-level workers reported burnout. Only 38% of executives felt the same strain. The people doing the actual work absorbed the damage while leadership celebrated the productivity numbers. Then came the trap nobody saw coming. When one person uses AI to take on extra work, everyone else feels like they're falling behind. So the whole team speeds up. Nobody formally raises expectations. But the new pace quietly becomes the default. What AI made possible became what was expected. The researchers gave it a name: workload creep. It looks like productivity at first. Then it becomes the new baseline. Then it becomes burnout. AI was supposed to give you your time back. Instead it's eating more of it. And the worst part? You're doing it to yourself. Voluntarily.

Man brukade sĂ€ga att ungdomstiden var en explosion — ett rus, en flykt, en dans pĂ„ grĂ€nsen till vĂ€rlden. Man lĂ€ngtade bort, lĂ€ngtade ut. Till första lĂ€genheten, första natten utan nĂ„gon som vĂ€ntade hemma, första tĂ„gresan med en ryggsĂ€ck och en dröm om frihet. Men sĂ„ kom skĂ€rmen. Först som ett verktyg, sedan som sĂ€llskap — och till slut som en verklighet. Det började oskyldigt. NĂ„gra fĂ€rre utekvĂ€llar, lite mindre resande, nĂ„gra som valde att stanna hemma i stĂ€llet för att festa. Men snart blev det en rörelse. Ett kollektivt stillastĂ„ende. Ett samhĂ€lle dĂ€r ungdomens energi inte lĂ€ngre sökte utlopp i vĂ€rlden, utan rann inĂ„t, in i glaset som glimmade i handen. Statistiken talar sitt tydliga sprĂ„k: fĂ€rre unga dricker, fĂ€rre reser, fĂ€rre flyttar hemifrĂ„n. Resandet brukade vara ett sökande – efter mening, efter identitet, efter Ă€ventyr. Nu ersĂ€tts det av digitala resor genom filter och algoritmer. Festen, som en gĂ„ng var en ritual för gemenskap och frigörelse, har blivit onödig nĂ€r dopaminet levereras snabbare via skĂ€rmen. Och friheten som förr krĂ€vde mod, anstrĂ€ngning och förlust – har blivit en illusion, komprimerad till en app. FörĂ€ldrahemmen fylls av vuxna barn som aldrig lĂ€mnar. De bor i rum som lyser av blĂ„tt sken, dĂ€r natt och dag Ă€r samma sak. De Ă€ter, arbetar, Ă€lskar och lever digitalt. De behöver inte lĂ€ngre staden, vĂ€rlden, rörelsen. Allt kommer till dem – i perfekt form. SamhĂ€llet förlorar sin rytm. Gatorna blir lugnare, men ocksĂ„ tystare. TĂ„gen gĂ„r fortfarande, men fĂ€rre köper biljetter. Krogarna stĂ€nger tidigare, men det Ă€r inte för att folk mĂ„r bĂ€ttre — det Ă€r för att ingen lĂ€ngre lĂ€ngtar efter nĂ„got som luktar verklighet. Det hĂ€r Ă€r inte ett ungdomsproblem. Det Ă€r civilisationens inbromsning. En kollektiv regression till tryggheten, till stillheten, till förĂ€ldrahemmets skydd. En vĂ€rld dĂ€r ingen lĂ€ngre behöver lĂ€mna, för det finns inget "bort" kvar. Vi trodde att teknologin skulle befria oss. I stĂ€llet befriade den oss frĂ„n behovet av att vara fria. Det som var flykt har blivit fĂ„ngenskap, och det som kallades utveckling visar sig kanske bara vara — en digital sömn.

FrĂ„n 2019 đŸ§” Jag har skrivit en alldeles för lĂ„ng text, vilket omöjliggör publicering i en tidning, sĂ„ jag lĂ€gger den hĂ€r istĂ€llet. Även om den Ă€r lĂ„ng sĂ„ tror jag Ă€ndĂ„ att ni vill lĂ€sa. Den handlar om likheterna mellan Trump och Jimmie "jag vet inte" Åkesson đŸ“·

Electricity between Finland and Estonia through the Estlink 2 connection is currently halted. There have been reports that a Xin Xin Tiang vessel (Hong Kong) has crossed EstLink2 today at noon. As it moved in the area of the cable, its speed decreased. Authorities are investigating the incident. yle.fi/a/74-20133467

Bit of a long đŸ§” but I promise, it is actually going somewhere, not just a rant on Trump's cabinet picks. But the rant part first: Marco Rubio (Sec of State) - More or less qualified, but has become a whipped dog, begging for his master's love, since 2016 1/15

I think the Trump McDonald's visit hit home with so many is that it was a glimmer of nobility, of a time of hierarchy and noblesse oblige rather than the usual American politician thing of pretending to be a prole, as shown by what he wore A short đŸ§”đŸ‘‡

"There is nothing special about Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or Mark Zuckerberg. Accepting that requires you to also accept that the world itself is not one that rewards the remarkable, or the brilliant, or the truly incredible, but those who are able to take advantage of opportunities, which in turn leads to the horrible truth that those who often have the most opportunities are some of the most boring and privileged people alive." -@EdZitron, You Can't Make Friends With The Rockstars wheresyoured.at/rockstars/

A Cow caught on a security cam opening the electric fence. The farmer installed it after he assumed someone was doing it. Now we are left with the explanation of why cows 40 miles away have just started doing the exact same thing?

I just spent 15 minutes trying to get Grok to solve a very basic information integration task—“sort all the words in the Gettysburg address and boldface the prepositions”—and it made mistakes literally in every try. I literally could not get a correct answer out of it. It would boldface non prepositions, fail to boldface actual ones, include words that aren’t actually in the Gettysburg address, etc. Every answer sorta kinda looked vaguely right, and not one was actually correct. Why does anyone think this stuff has anything to do with AGI?
