Weird - surely you would want to encourage employees to use the magical productivity enhancing tools as much as possible, maybe even have a leaderboard to encourage their use, so we can look at all the productivity! Wonder why they have stopped?
Some employees who spend as much as $1,000 on Claude usage each month are scrambling to find ways to maintain access to the tool.

productivity through the roof thanks to the respectful Nittany Lion, Matt Campbell
I got so mad I went outside and silently put together my kids trampoline that has been sitting in pieces since we moved 6 months ago. My wife brought me a beer without comment.

Claims of increased productivity rest on the affected people and organizations actually being able to measure productivity which - aside from traditional manufacturing processes - is often very hard to do if not borderline impossible.

The Democratic Party's pitch, in every year I've been alive, has been, "we will do less for workers than we did in the past, but vote for us anyway, or YOU'RE the problem!"
No, the austerity, the police state, and the endless war you support are how fascism developed in the US.
I'm a chart bro too

on AI and productivity:
if productivity directly translates to profit, it can be reasoned that, like currency, a flood of free productivity will cause an inflationary crisis that you cannot produce your way out of.
