Idk man this just feels like moving towards the sci-fi future I’ve always dreamed of

Like of course the ai is in on your calls and you can just ask it to do stuff… anything less wouldn’t be sci-fi cool

> And then what? What services could you offer to make a living?

Something that doesn't involve spending 4-6 hours a day in useless meetings like most professional administrative class folks seem to do these days? Even if there is some "coordination" gains to be had here, AI seems better at it than humans could ever be either way.

Actual useful meetings can and should be rare and attended by actual human decision makers when required. Open source software (for example) shows these sorts of situations tend to be rather rare in properly managed projects.

I see most (scheduled) meetings as a failure. If you had great systems in place to organize asynchronous work it would eliminate the need for them. Meetings are not useful work. They are overhead. Eliminating them should be the objective - but too many folks are economically incentivized to maximize them.

This sort of thing sounds like a win to me, regardless of short-term pain.

What jobs is it displacing? Any statistics or productivity metrics that would back that up?

Your dream is to be stuck on a Zoom call with an agent telling you “you’re absolutely right”?

I suppose perhaps I’m being unfair. Maybe your dream is for you and all other workers being replaced by an AI entirely. I’m sure no unforeseen negative consequences could arise from such an outcome.

oh don't be so negative. the dream is probably something like TARS from Interstellar
Re:Claude Meetings by pesus on Friday November 13, 2026 @06:32PM (#50491681)
Interstellar is a great movie, but I would absolutely not consider it a dream world to live in. Unless we're counting nightmares too.

im sure we can separate the existence of TARS from the rest of the movie tho :)

This meeting could have been a prompt
Re:Claude Meetings by digitaltrees on Friday November 13, 2026 @06:40PM (#50491752)
But why is one company trying to do everything? Why do the intelligence vendors need to go into the app layer? Why did the go in to the coding tool layer? They could have let a rich ecosystem build around the API but they are killing start ups all over the place. Entire categories won’t get investment or traction because they are actively trying to be a monopoly

It’s a dog eat dog world and they have all the money.

agreed. feels like something needs to give soon as this really shouldn't be acceptable.
