Remote workers are turning to workplace discussion platforms like Fishbowl to discuss return-to-office mandates. Some say they are willing to take pay cuts of up to a 20% to continue working from home. "There are more things in life than money," one Fishbowl user said in response to RTO incentives. Remote workers are turning to anonymous workplace discussion platforms to gauge whether they should take jobs with lower pay to keep their work-from-home privileges. The willingness for workers to forgo thousands of dollars in pay to work from home is nothing new.

More specifically, AI could disproportionately impact the middle class of white-collar workers — the folks who are mid-career, mid-ability, mid-level, and yes, in some cases, mediocre. In other words, the lessons learned from months or years of experience are baked into an AI tool. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for example recently told Time that the same could be true for software developers. This doesn't mean the great software developers won't remain great software developers but the ability for more people to enter the field will increase. That's good news for many wannabe software developers, but it's also bad news for many existing software developers.

Here's an AI-generated script of the 'Succession' finale — and what experts thought of it. Next, Insider asked ChatGPT to write a scene from the finale based on that prediction. The most striking difference, he said, is how the AI-generated script contains "zero subtext," which he said "Succession" excels at. Jim Burnstein, another screenwriting professor at the University of Michigan and a WGA member, told Insider the script is "really insulting" and "should be off the table right away." "A bunch of monkeys" can write "Hamlet" better than ChatGPT can write "Succession," he added.
