Are you married to a man who’s obsessed with AI? I’m so, so sorry.
If i had to listen to another minute of my husband talking about Claude Code, I might have actually died. It was 11 pm in Berkeley, California, where I was home alone with our 10-month-old daughter, and 2 am in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he was visiting for his newish job in AI. “JUST LOOK AT THIS!” he shouted. The FaceTime camera zoomed toward a laptop sitting on a hotel bed. “SEE?!”
See what, I thought. I wanted to shower. I still had to take the dog out.
“ARE YOU LOOKING?” he shouted again. I wasn’t. I was looking at our real baby. But that’s the thing. There are two babies in this household now: the small human one and the large language model. Both demand constant attention. Both keep us up at 2 am.
Is this a Sophie’s choice kind of situation? Please. I’d kill the AI baby in an instant.

The AI baby vs real baby comparison is so real. It’s hard to compete with something that doesn’t need to sleep or eat.
Not related to the interpersonal aspects, but this is why I reject the AI-salesmen ideas that AI is going to shorten the working day.
Has any technology really done that? Do people actually have shorter work days in 2026 rather than in 1926? I bet not by any meaningful amount....
If AI increases productivity then the natural economic push will be to just work on more projects at the same time, letting AI do the heavy lifting and the human do the orchestration.
I fully can see that more people will work from home in post-AI scenario, but there will be 10x more people orchestrating their AI labor pool on their phone....just as you are ready to turn out the lights in bed....bing ahh look claude is asking me a question on how to handle this customers request.......
I'm guessing here but in 1926 I bet the work day was 10 to 12 hours vs today 2026 is at most 8 hours for most people
40 hour work week was a big deal and for some reason we seem to be stuck at 40 or 8 per day
there was no electricity in 1400
Is it really describing AI obsession? Or just career obsession?
At some point, the two just mix together, and you can’t really separate them!
