That’s a somewhat odd statement coming from a stranger on the internet but I’m having one of those days where I’ll take anything that’s on offer. So thanks, I think I needed to hear that.

Graeber states that more than half of societal work is pointless, both large parts of some jobs and five types of entirely pointless jobs:
- Flunkies, who serve to make their superiors feel important, e.g., receptionists, administrative assistants, door attendants, store greeters;
- Goons, who act to harm or deceive others on behalf of their employer, or to prevent other goons from doing so, e.g., lobbyists, corporate lawyers, telemarketers, public relations specialists;
- Duct tapers, who temporarily fix problems that could be fixed permanently, e.g., programmers repairing shoddy code, airline desk staff who calm passengers with lost luggage;
- Box tickers, who create the appearance that something useful is being done when it is not, e.g., survey administrators, in-house magazine journalists, corporate compliance officers, academic administration;[14]
- Taskmasters, who create extra work for those who do not need it, e.g., middle management, leadership professionals.[1][4]

0·7 days agoAre you implying that gold isolates better from interference than copper?

I mean… isn’t it just logical that if you express yourself ambiguously, you are more likely to get a poor response? Humans and chatbots alike need clarity to respond appropriately. I don’t think we can ever expect things to work differently.
