这篇Hacker News帖子讨论了杰文斯悖论在个人效率提升中的体现,特别是与AI等技术进步相关的方面。原帖作者在评论中提到,更高的效率反而可能导致休闲时间减少,因为暂停工作的机会成本更高了。另一位评论者进一步阐述说,打字机、电脑和互联网等技术进步并没有像传统经济学理论预测的那样减少工作时间,反而导致了工作量的增加。这说明,尽管工具旨在提高效率,但利用增强能力的压力往往导致更多工作,抵消了增加休闲时间的可能性。总而言之,该讨论探讨了一个令人沮丧的现象:效率的提升变成了增加需求的驱动力,而不是带来预期的更短工作周。

> When you get more productive, leisure's opportunity costs skyrocket. Every pause carries an invisible price tag that flickers in your peripheral vision.

I'd love it if this turns out that this single concept has already been given a name by somebody somewhere.



> Traditional economics might predict that AI-boosted productivity would reduce working hours, a four-day weekend for tasks that once took five days.

The funny thing is, there have been precedents: invention of typewriters/telephones, then computerization, then the Internet, — and the work only ever expanded. And now there is AI. Well, you know, what they say: when you've got a willing horse, whip it for another ten miles; surely this works with human workers as well.
