AI hasn't taken anyone's job.

The Epstein class use AI as an excuse to fire thousands and artificially lower wages to keep the plebs in check for the next few decades.

    I've personally seen multiple departments eliminated because they would rather send the jobs to Indian sub contractors backed by AI.

    It wouldn't have been without AI. They believe telling them to use AI is cheaper.

    It's different this time because previously, the folks in India didn't know anything, the execs here believe they can fire people with years of experience and replace them with Indian techs using AI and be just as good.

    It will still blow up in 1-2 years, but that's the idea for now.
