you ARE using a standing desk to avoid heart and back problems, right anon?
I don't use a desk. I work honestly for my money.
Yes ofc
you clean up shit for money good for you I guess?
You remind me of my brother-in-law, a college dropout who insists that higher education is useless while he lives on gibs to augment his pitiful salary. You may be capable of offering anything intellectually valuable to society, but plenty of other people are.
Only the manager has a desk at McDonald's OP.
>has a desk job
Learn a trade. AI will replace all desk jobs within a decade but it'll be a long ass time before finish caroenters and masons and linemen are replaced with robots. And if that happened tradesmen would shoot the things.
>AI will replace all desk jobs within a decade
You're a moron
Nah. Used to have a desk job. Used ChatGPT frequently to do my emails. No one ever knew.
>No one ever knew.
>Used to have a desk job
>Used
Yeah, they knew. You were fired and have to do low paid handyman jobs under the table to make ends meet before your unemployment runs out.
>emails
is emails the limits of desk jobs?
>spend most of your life at a shitty job that only pays well because you work so much and that gives you a shitty body by 50
nah
I fricking love what I do lol cope
>every person on earth just like me
I can see why you chose a trade
AI with current tech is only a marginally useful data manipulation illusion and a novelty. That's why all AI material in existence makes allusions to the Mechanical Turk.
I wouldn't expect a tradie to really understand the current state of AI technology. You see ChatGPT write a poem about ham sandwiches and think the next step is obviously Skynet.
>That's why all AI material in existence makes allusions to the Mechanical Turk.
Elaborate.
b***h there's Google can't you readlets do some research?
I think what he meant is that AIs like chatGPT don’t create anything new but just recycle data from humans from the internet and then spit it back at the user. But I’d love to hear more
Not him but it's not AI, it's a natural language processor
Meaning it's been trained on enough human data to be able to strings words together in a way which appears to be humanlike
It doesn't "know" anything, it just throws out random phrases that it associates with all the key words in your prompt
That's why it can write emails, because work emails are garbage and largely interchangeable
Protip: anybody who claims AI made it easier to write emails is a fricking moron - it's easier if you're an illiterate moron who can't write simple emails, sure
AI doesn't KNOW anything, it can't LEARN, it's a talking parrot and normies are dumb
On the topic of emails, I was actually looking into using chatgpt to help with the acquisition process via email (not to write emails but to read, classify & sort them) but even with advanced """prompt engineering""" and custom training it still didn't really perform well. Used a simple multinomial Naive Bayes algo instead which worked like a charm.
What trade do you do? I thought about pursuing linework but having only 1 eye makes getting a Class A CDL tough depending on what state I'm on. Thinking about carpentry or millwright instead.
Ai won’t replace shit anytime soon- not in our lifetime soon. You out of touch moronic techlets need to stop saying this lol.
yeah I think I'll keep my 6 hours-per-day-if-I-feel-like-it working from home dev job
but you do that manly, dirty, working class job you're so proud of, someone has to
godspeed working class scum
Office desk jockies love to cope about it being an intelligence thing but from my experience doing that shit any 90IQ moron (most people in those jobs) could do well there. If you have basic computer literacy, can use google and YouTube, and aren’t a total sperg/can maintain your tism enough to network a bit, are capable of getting a bachelors degree (not hard) it’s easy to do well. There’s no intelligence involved lmfao. I know people who pull the “WFH $200k/year tech chad” shtick and all but 1 are call support making $20/hr for various companies. Shit, one moron was making $50k selling dumpsters and he only got that job because he watched sopranos and thought that’s what mafia culture was actually like just so he could say he worked for waste management and live in some fantasy. Very few actually go anywhere in that shit or climb any ladders. Those on the coding side of things know damn well what I’m talking about.
If you’re truly intelligent, and not a soft handed b***h you could go into a trade and in 10 years start a business which makes six figs net profit while you have your employees doing the physical work. If you’re not half a moron you’d choose a trade which isn’t gonna break your body and also has good earning potential.
(Hint: different areas will pay different tradesmen higher)
(hint: there are low COL areas where certain not too physically intensive trades are paid $40-$50/hr on average).
(Hint: most trades, if union which is the smart way, don’t have you tied down to working 365 days and you can take one weekly OT shift for 9 months out the year, finish the current job and then frick off for 2-3 months and if you did it right not even dent your savings significantly while they grow further each year).
Shit, if we’re really talking about this there’s as much morons in both fields. Two sides to the same coin.
>work job you don’t want all day
>go get drunk/high after work
It’s the same shit for most
I'm a recent electrical engineering grad and no, AI isn't replacing desk jobs anytime soon. Maybe long tedious shit like writing legal documents, but I used it back toward the end of my undergrad as a tool to help find adequate equations to solve shit, and to word concepts for reports. It says and returns wrong shit all the time. You need to be very specific and know vaguely what the answers are in order to judge them correctly. If you just spit a question and copy paste the answer and say "hurr durr, I can be a lawyer", you're way off bud.
Yeah but a trade job isn't paying me 350k USD a year like my desk job
They can’t even get self-checkout to fricking work without intense levels of irritation. you think boomers are gonna want to talk to an AI bot about their retirement accounts?
AI won't replace all deskjobs anytime soon, but pajeets will.
I had a standing desk at my last job but the dumbfrick IT guy used really short cables to plug the computer equipment in with and when you raised the desk, it would unplug everything and the monitor would fall off the desk.
This is cope for dyels who don't use kettlebells and HIT cardio.
The shit that exists right now isn't even ai. It's machine learning. AI refers to a system that can actually improve upon itself while machine learning models can only operate within a bounded set of parameters. The ai apocalypse everyone likes to doomsay about is the same as alchemists just being one little molecule away from transmuting gold. There are going to be plenty of "ai" tools developed, sure, but a machine learning model is fundamentally the wrong final solution to the majority of problems. It can automate paperwork but it can't understand paperwork, which is why humans are still going to be necessary. An actual factual true ai is still decades or more from its infancy and probably isn't going to operate on modern binary computers because binary computers are shit at generalized processing. There's a type being developed that merges CPU and memory space like in a brain that's a good candidate for being an AIs core structure but that thing was only doing double digit arithmetic last I looked. I went to college
about to get one actually, pretty excited
It's great. Just remember it's just as bad standing up for hours and being inactive as it is sitting while being inactive.
It varies. I can walk for like 6 or 7 hours straight but I can't stand for 30 minutes without something hurting. So I do the walking thing or sit if I need to concentrate.
No I'm frugal
Yeah I work for the goverment, so the people pay for my standing desk.
Funny thing though, we don't have one at the office.
Dude with the standing desk still has forward head posture
>Uses standing desk
>Now has shoulder and feet problems
Do you not go outside or something?
Ever heard of walking?
Theres a lot of useless shitflinging in this thread.
As someone who went from trades to IT, yes being a tradie is far more honest and directly value adding, but nothing beats the quality of life upgrade being able to work from home and post on IST at work.
To answer the question, I do have a standing desk. Its necessary in my opinion if you care about your body. Before I had one my hips were tight as frick and my legs always felt sore. Being able to add 1-2 hours of standing day made that disappear within days. I also force myself to go for a walk at lunch and try to get at least 7500 steps a day.
As per studies, working in standing position is way wprse than sitting. Both for your spine and your cardiovascular system
based moron that misinterprets even the simplest pop science
If sitting is bad for you, and standing is bad for you, what's the alternative? Laying on your back and having a laptop mounted perpendicular to your body?
We aren’t designed to work at all.
Other countries have lower rates of back pain and their entire day is full of laying down (on hard ground usually), body weight squatting, sitting on ground, sex, walking around, maybe running.
They’re always doing something different.
That’s what we’re supposed to do.
this is true
standing is much better for your health than sitting, but you also shouldnt be standing all day, physical activity and moving every day is much more important
morons. It’s more that the people sitting at a desk do frick all activity at any other point in their day, and are more likely to be adult children and play video games when they get home or rot in front of the TV.
Even standing desk users are constantly complaining about posture and shit. I am by far the strongest man in the office and I sit for ages with shit posture without a single problem and watch as the morons around me seethe. It’s just that people are very weak and sedentary. Heavy squats and deadlifts will give you a superhuman amount of back strength compared to the average.
if you simply analyze someone in a sitting vs standing position you can see that standing puts less strain on the back (with the right posture) and allows more blood to flow
Come back when you squat 3pl8 and pull 4pl8 for reps.
weird concession but okay ig
Can this be a fricking standing desk thread? Fricking nerds take it to IST
Broke: 450$ motorized quietglide synergistic standing desk
Woke: Gnome Depot's garage workbench that's fricking 5 feet long and includes longass drawers
Be sure to include and lock the wheels. it needs the extra inches of height.
I use a standing desk and never sit down to work. How is that going to help my heart? It’s not like I’m moving around, I’m just standing there all day. It 100% helped my back though, I haven’t had back issues ever since switching a year and a half ago.
more blood flow than sitting
no, i sit on the floor
same but i mostly squat
Instead of wasting money on reddit consoomer nonsense I get up, move around and stretch every 30-60 minutes
