Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With

Reply in thread

There's a book Bullshit Jobs that explores this phenomenon. Freakonomics also did an episode referring to the book, which I found interesting.

Bullshit Jobs: A Theory is a 2018 book by anthropologist David Graeber that postulates the existence of meaningless jobs and analyzes their societal harm. He contends that over half of societal work is pointless and becomes psychologically destructive when paired with a work ethic that associates work with self-worth

I use Proton and their "email alias" feature which is sort of like Apple's "hide my email" - generates you a receive only email address that you can hand out and turn off whenever you want.

Of course, the trade off here is that if I ever wanted to leave Proton (or Apple if I were using Hide My Email) migrating each of these addresses one by one would be a bitch and a half.
