The difference being startups start that way. The parent appears to be talking about established companies downsizing and expecting the remaining employees to shoulder extra work. The stock market may tend to temporarily love it, but more realistically it's usually an indicator of bad leadership or a downward turn or both for a company.
I highly doubt that we will delegate our most essential part as humans to manchines in the near future, and that is making tough decisions.
Though, one could argue that many micro tasks, such as selecting a word for writing business mails, have been successfully taken care of by ChatGPT or other services. But what really hasn't changed is the threshold of fully accepting these machine generated contents. There is still a human behind the desk that makes a tough decision to whether or not to press the send button or trigger a nuclear football.
However, I do admit that mails and nuclear weapons are not on the same scale. Over time, passes by these "tough" decisions that need to be made will be conquered bottom-up.
I developed the "Year Progress App," inspired by the idea that a week is 2% of a year, to make time more tangible using relative scales. Disappointed by the high costs and limited benefits of existing apps, I opted to create a free alternative that aids in effective time management. I chose not to charge for the app to avoid the hassle and to freely contribute to improving productivity. I've open-sourced the app, believing in the community's ability to enhance and expand it. The positive feedback on LinkedIn affirmed my belief in the app's potential and value.
Another Korean here. Usually in Korea, one could refer to an unknown someone as "선생님(teacher)". "각하", on the other hand, has been referred to the President of Korea. So it really sounds weird to a Korean. When someone calls you "각하". If I were to be a customer, then I would be called "고객님". Where "고객" means customer and "님" is like "sama" in Japanese, and "sir" in English.
