culture will likely shift even further. Back when cell phones became available, people said "No way do people want to carry that thing with them everywhere! The office will follow me wherever I go!"

Look how that's turned out.

but that was maybe because first were briefcase size phones?

true, but even with smaller cell phones, people still had the "Office following me everywhere" worry

Turns out not everyone works office jobs. AI will definitely hit in that department too

To be fair, I do really hate how the office follows me wherever I go.

Many years ago I read about the concept of engineered monkeys with boosted intelligence. They would sit behind a computer screen and work all day. This was supposed to be ethical because they would be engineered to like the work.

Now my office has taken over my home and my privacy is violated all of the time, I often think of these monkeys.

I keep thinking of the same concept, except with GAI instead of monkeys.

But I also know that if I wasn't continually assigned busywork I might look for things to improve at my company, so maybe it's fine...

Because a phone is now a small pc. You have movies music and games everywhere you go .
