Agents are working in the background, sometimes for hours.
How do you spend this time? Waiting for them to finish or doing something else? Still related to work on for your personal needs?
I'm in a mood. If you're one of these "tech worker" class type people: We don't like you and you need to go find real work instead of being literal parasites.
Every tech idea is just being a middleman parasitic antisocial clown.
I'll say it again and never stop saying it:
Tech work is not real work
Especially not in 2026.
You all work for the slave owners and want to be them.
When big supermarkets and convenience stores became dominant, traditional shopping streets (shotengai) declined or disappeared in many areas. Yet some survived by transforming themselves into tourist spots or cultural destinations. It’s a fascinating phenomenon: as digital efficiency increases, our desire for nostalgia and human connection seems to grow stronger.
The same might apply to how we work. AI can handle routine drafting, translation, and calculations, but humans are still essential for the final review—evaluating nuance, context, and intent. People often say AI will take over office and administrative jobs, but it can also free us from repetitive work, reducing fatigue, overtime, and errors. (Though for creative professions, a little fatigue can sometimes spark unexpected, brilliant breakthroughs!)
This got me thinking: When the current wave of AI and automation settles down, what kind of world will we actually end up with?
What unexpected "analog" traditions, physical spaces, or human roles do you think will stubbornly survive—or even become prized as luxury experiences?
We live in an era where we can witness firsthand what people choose to preserve out of nostalgia and what they let fade away. It’s truly fascinating to imagine what kind of world will emerge on the other side of this shift.
I’d love to hear your predictions, observations, or wild guesses!
