and when AI is doing all the work your decisions aren't as informed as they would be if you had done it yourself

What about the exhaustion of doing months of work in days and feeling like you should have months off now or at least months of pay for the work

I’m an attorney that bills hourly. I’ve probably increased my efficiency by 3x, but now all it means is I need to handle 3x the amount of matters I did to hit my needed hours. I’ve increased my hourly billing rate, but only by 25% or so, so I’m barely more profitable despite having to process so much more work.

I’m running 3 models on 2 PCs. Been at it all morning. I’m sitting by my pool about to eat lunch. I just can’t be up there e

It’s almost impossible to get into flow state now. I used to work hard, on a single task, for multiple hours at a time. I’d look at the clock and the day would be done. It wasn’t easy per se, but it was somehow relaxing to work like that. Now, I’ve got 5x the work to do, but it’s all baby sitting AI, acting as a copy-paste monkey, or like you said, making the higher lever decisions. It’s not a flow state. It still feels good to get so much done, but it’s frantic and somehow more mentally taxing than it used to be.

Agreed. The hardest part is having the tenacity to care. It’s very easy to numb out and just think “who give a sh!t?”

I'm expanding my org soon and what we're doing is switching to a 24 hour work week, 6 hours, 4 days a week. I think it's the most ethical decision to give the mental rest required.

It’s the same fatigue as learning to drive a car. Pacing one’s self is important in learning a new skill… Especially in cases where the goalposts are dynamic like in AI.

Absolutely. Switching constantly between 2-6 complex processes and taking good decisions feels like the First thing ever to actually bring my Brain to the Limits of its capacity. When I’ve done this whole day I feel hungover.

I think we’re not designed biologically to work 40 hour per week. I run a business and I typically work in four hour increments. After about four hours, I’m no longer a sharp or productive mentally. I agree that AI forces us to make hard decisions and that’s exactly what I want and need. AI clears the noise and allows me to make the decision without the busy work.

hard problems need easy problems that you work on while your mind works silently on the hard problem. Then one day you get an eureka moment and the hard problem gets a good answer, or you settle for an answer that technically works but is suboptimal.

Yea. I've had some nights where I wanted to hit a milestone but couldn't actually think... it felt like my own context window got too full to make good decisions.

A new way that I’ve become the bottleneck in my system! I had to have 4 uninterrupted hours to actually get through final action points yesterday

I’ve had a hard time articulating this exact fatigue I have been experiencing. My output is unbelievable, but at the end of the day (which is stretching longer than ever before), my brain is completely fried.

Opus is really good at finding the gaps in agent specifications. It asks very thoughtful questions that have to be answered with the same intensity. Very hard work, mental effort

I actually think this may not be true for neurodivergent people. I have found and others have said the same to me that outsourcing the execution function that I don’t have as someone with ADHD, helps immensely. I often cannot start tasks because I’m overwhelmed by everything that needs to be decided. AI helps me start tasks and holds the memory while I work.

Yes! Such a good observation, I had that today.. get so much done in less time but need to take a break and come back at it at different angles to be sure I’m not jumping to conclusions or making the best decisions.
