Nightmarish?! In comparison to the average person's actual job? I'm pretty sure that many people out there would sign up for a battle royale for a chance at such a job.

I you think you’ll be paid 3 hours of salary for every 5 minutes of work, I have bad news for you.

Most likely your 3 hours will be filled with managing 36 different AI sessions at a time and it will slowly break your brain.

At least if we keep doing capitalism the way we are.

Tech industry folks have been so coddled for decades that many think their astonishing intellect has earned them a cushy life rather than being in a field with high labor demand. It’s one reason tech workers are often considered arrogant and out of touch… and that’s why people think they can get paid to lightly orchestrate agents to do their jobs. Oof.

If efficiency gains create an oversupply of tech labor, even the bestie BFF bosses will notice the hoards of more qualified people who will kill for any job that pays more than CVS or Uber— so a lot less than most developers make now. The tech world regularly, shamelessly cuts higher-earning higher-skill workers for cheaper “good enough” replacements. Best of luck.

Even many of the folks that see the writing on the wall have fanciful visions of using their astonishingly capable genius developer brain to maintain or quickly re-achieve some of their high status in the trades. As a union tradesman, I’d find that misconception hilarious if I didn’t feel so bad for them. A lot of folks are going to have a lot of bitter medicine to swallow.

Would they? I'd love to get in touch

My clients have been burned before. Once you set up the battle royale with a trusted third party validating that there'll be an assured good job at the end, I promise I'll have enough candidates for you to fill up the first 10 competitions.

That nightmarish scenario is what T.S. Eliot was describing in "The Wasteland" which "portrays deep, existential ennui and boredom as defining symptoms of modern life following World War I."

Later this boredom was described by the Stones, "And though she’s not really ill / There’s a little yellow pill / She goes running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper".

It is a nightmare. Mostly what I'm thinking about while the agents are running is how bored I'm going to be. That is the joke, my deep thought on T.S. Eliot are about the wasteland this thing is going to create.

So sitting at a desk is nicer than a walk outside for you? Why would relaxation be a nightmare?

Checking one’s phone every 5 to 10 minutes is nothing but relaxation. One needs to have the mind at ease to relax.
