The 'Claude Coworker' does all his work unchecked—and the AI now outperforms him

A viral exchange about AI doing an entire coworker's job.
- The quoted post describes a "Claude Coworker": live call suggestions from an AI notetaker, and all Slack messages, docs, and emails written by Claude, never reviewed. The author formally complained to management, but as the models improved, Claude's output surpassed the coworker's own ability—so they stopped caring.
- Reposter omooretweets notes: beyond wrapper jokes, individuals can now 10x their output or cut 90% of their effort with basic AI use—he knows engineers doing a week's work in 5 hours at companies where AI hasn't fully permeated.
