I am not offloading anything. I need way more critical thinking than I ever needed before to review solutions proposed by my digital slaves to evaluate whether they are garbage or good.

If you think that having slaves means you don’t need to be a good administrator, then you are sorely mistaken.

It requires more brainpower than it ever did to manage a project the size what used to do a 100 people team. All on your own.

The fact that I am arguing with all of you here and not blindingly follow the narrative should tell you all you need to know about my critical thinking prowess.



> I need way more critical thinking than I ever needed before to review

Review does not require more critical thinking than designing or building.


Designing is all I do basically. AI just a calculator but I tell it what to do and guide it.

Guys you cannot win this argument. We will soon be in a new era. It’s like the old math heads complaining about calculators.

Does anyone complain about calculators making us dumb nowadays?

You can of course avoid this tech like a plague and miss out and that’s fine. No one cares


> Does anyone complain about calculators making us dumb nowadays

It's a fact that people who rely on calculators for everything lose their skills at mental math

What do you think will happen when people rely on computers for everything?

Your new era is going to be full of idiots

And I wouldn't care about that except you all seem to be insisting on dragging everyone down with you


- also no gloating but i wanna mention something

- i dont use calculators anymore

- it was impossibly hard at first

- but my mind is adjusting to it slowly

- i can add and subtract 7 digit numbers effortlessly now

- i am still working on multiplication and division though but we ll get there slowly

- let me give you an example live

2949745 - 2947648

- my thought process to do this goes like this

- 1st 3 digits are same ignore

9745 - 7648

- 2nd step is to round off 9700 - 7700 = 2000, add 45 to it and it makes 2045 , we are still 52 short, add 50 to it and make it 2095, now add 2 and it becomes 2097

- see? no calculator needed

- i can do this faster than you can type the numbers above inside your beloved calculator
