soumitrashukla9 · x · 2026-07-10

More are concerned about being expected to do more for the same pay and facing continuously eroding work quality. The author argues that AI-driven productivity gains are quickly absorbed by new performance expectations, splitting the industry into two groups: those empowered by AI, and those feeling increasingly uncertain about their value and career prospects.
