My new take on remote work. 

Remote work is a pre-cursor to deeply adopted AI. Humans will first get used to some abstract figment of a person doing all the work before they give up all power to a real non-person doing all the work.

that’s interesting…presumably that precursor is a person they’ve never met irl. in which case, whose to tell that person is even a real person?

On a tangent: I was thinking about this recently because it’s March, and I realized ive been basically fully remote since March 2020. Even now that I work locally and technically go into the office 3 days a week nearly every meeting I have is via zoom: clients, coworkers, bosses, contractors, consultants. 

I have not sat around a table with trace paper and hashed out a design  in 5 years. (For the office anyway, at school we still do that with students)

The silverbacks of 2019 swore architects would never be able to work in this way. Creative jobs are not conducive to remote work — we need the proverbial watercoolers. 

Maybe I am an AI v0.3
