"...a system designed for looting, and AI is their vehicle" You nailed it!
It's not AI at all, AI isn't doing all this work, it's them using AI as an excuse to not look bad for doing poorly and having their valuation drop from the cuts
“How can we spin these layoffs into a positive?” “Pretend it’s related to AI”
Amazing cutting 60k corporate jobs is financially and socially insane.
Why isn't the mainstream media covering this? I haven't heard anything about this on the news at all.
The terrifying part would be that the stockmarket going up would possibly not be a bubble. As in it would accuratly portray growing resources and labour, just without the participation of the workers
Where the hell is the Ann Coulter interview
Most people don’t anticipate the social impact of economic pressure at the individual level. Expect job loss, debt, foreclosure, and mental illness to expand the criminal population increasing your odds of encountering violence and crime. A book called Dealing with Burglary and Home Invasion Robbery may preserve your safety and wealth.
These tech companies and cutting headcount, dumping more work on those that are left, and using that freed up cash flow for data centers. So gross.
What's the point of all these "news" outlets like Breaking Points if there isn't any actual journalism going on behind the stories. They are literally taking Press releases from companies at face value and calling that a story. Is anyone checking the validity of these claims? My guess is no.
Thank god we all have an abundance of ways to bet on things so that we can further throw away money.
And yet the Bureau of Labor Stats claims jobs increased last month. The brazen lies are simply astounding. We live in a sad Trump-Epstein reality. And it has to stop now.
That moment when "Work smarter, not harder" suddenly feels like a slap in the face...😖👋🏻
Studies keep showing Al can't really take over jobs. Some companies fired their engineers, blamed AI, then realized it couldn't do the work and ended up rehiring them
The more workers Amazon lays off the more customers they lose.
We should not be surprised when we hand over the keys to the BMW to a 15 year old hormonal teen and the car ends up in the tree.
When we are all displaced by AI or robots and nobody has any income, who, exactly will be the customers for these corporations?
“The stock dropped to zero and the computer did that auto-layoff thing to everybody!!!1”
Homer Simpson backing into the bushes was exactly the thing I was thinking of just before Emily said it. These are my people.
Artificial intelligence in the stock market, and real stupidity in government. What could go wrong? Everybody wins.
