AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It

One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consistently intensify it: In the study, employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so. That may sound like a win, but it’s not quite so simple. These changes can be unsustainable, leading to workload creep, cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making. The productivity surge enjoyed at the beginning can give way to lower quality work, turnover, and other problems. To correct for this, companies need to adopt an “AI practice,” or a set of norms and standards around AI use that can include intentional pauses, sequencing work, and adding more human grounding.

Trump says ‘I shouldn’t have left’ White House after 2020 loss

On the final Sunday of a rollercoaster presidential contest, Republican nominee Donald Trump is asking voters in Pennsylvania again to make him leader of a “failed nation” while also unleashing a profane, conspiracy-laden rant asserting U.S. elections are not legitimate in the first place. Democratic nominee Kamala Harris countered from a Michigan church pulpit that God offers America a “divine plan strong enough to heal division,” and, without saying Trump’s name, declared that Tuesday’s election offers voters the chance to reject “chaos, fear and hate” in favor of a more unified country defined by “freedom, justice and compassion.” The starkly different tones from the former president and sitting vice president come less than 48 hours before Election Day polls open.

🤩 Australian scientists say they have solid #evidence that short #bursts of #activity during daily tasks can significantly help to #reduce the #risk of early death, especially from #cardio-vascular disease. They studied 25K self-confessed non-exercisers. They found that those who briefly #intensified everyday activities -- such as playing with children, housework, or powerwalking -- just for a minute 3-4X /day had up to a 40% reduction in #mortality from all causes.

One minute bursts of activity during daily tasks could prolong your life finds study

New research from the University of Sydney finds just several bursts of huffing and puffing during daily tasks are associated with large reductions in the risk of premature death, particularly from cardiovascular disease.
