The Great Time-Saving Lie
Briefly

The article explores the paradox of 'lost saved time' stemming from technological advancements, especially in AI. Despite claims that these innovations save vast amounts of time for knowledge workers, the reality is the opposite: work demands increase, leaving individuals feeling more pressed and burned out. Instead of enjoying increased leisure, many find themselves working longer hours, caught in a relentless acceleration trap. The author argues for a philosophical reevaluation of our concepts of success and purpose to truly reclaim our time.
Our technological innovations have promised us freedom from effort, yet the more time tech 'saves' us, the less we seem to have, leading to burnout.
The real revolution in time will not be technical, but philosophical; we must redefine success and purpose as we continue to misuse time.
