I don’t think people would be idle. They’d just be concerned with different things, like social dynamics, games/competition/sports, raising family etc.
Oh sure, I didn't actually mean to describe it being idle as in sitting and literally doing nothing. I more meant idle in comparison to how much people work today and how much they think about or stress over work.
Take 7 hours out if the day because an LLM makes you that much more productive and I expect people wouldn't know what to do with themselves. That could be wrong, but I'd expect a lot more societal problems than we already have today if a year from now a large number of people only worked 4 or 5 hours a week.
That's not even getting to the Shopify CEOs ridiculous claim that employees will get 100x more work done [1].
