    Shocker. Just another excuse to fire higher paid workers, point at a line going up (until it doesn’t), say AI a lot, and then hire lower paid workers for the same (or worse now fighting AI in some cases) job.

      The Csuites that will lose their jobs from this will actually get bonuses when they are fired. We will see some of them get fired for this reason. But If the whole thing truly imploded none of them will get fired though because it will be too costly to pull the chord on their golden parachutes.

      This is the real answer. AI is just an excuse to cut costs while the economy is going to shit. By claiming it is all about AI, they get to cut and slash all they want without signaling to the stock market and their competitors that things are going to shit. It also allows them to cut without blaming the economy because pointing out the failing economy would upset the man-baby that is fucking up the entire world economy.
