    This is a bit of a generalization. I’ve come away from work with some very good friends. But I’ve also been in the situation where socializing was specifically disincentivized. The work culture matters a lot; if you’re micromanaged every minute of the day you’re going to have a bad time. What you’re describing sounds to me like more specifically corporate culture, and more in the executive realm than your average worker bee.

    Perhaps it’s trite to say so but if anything, the fact that so many people hate their job is above all an indictment of capitalism.
















  • The issue as I see it is that college is a barometer for success in life, which for the sake of brevity I’ll just say means economic success. It’s not just a place of learning, it’s the barrier to entry - and any metric that becomes a goal is prone to corruption.

    A student won’t necessarily think of using AI as cheating themselves out of an education because we don’t teach the value of education except as a tool for economic success.

    If the tool is education, the barrier to success is college, and the actual goal is to be economically successful, why wouldn’t a student start using a tool that breaks open that barrier with as little effort as possible?
