I think as a society we need to go through this, watching companies fail and shareholders losing their shit before the perpetrators of Assumed Intelligence end up in court.
I have mixed feelings about the employees who are caught up in this .. let's call it what it is .. scam.
It's easy to say .. you lost your job because your boss is an arsehole, but how much influence did each individual really have in the overall process?
I've been looking for the next paid challenge for five years .. well before this AI scam was perpetrated on the world. Despite having 40+ years industry experience and an aging population, my own age appears to be a barrier for the HR teams relying on the same tools that is causing them to lose their jobs.
As I said, I think this needs to blow up before it gets better, hopefully before I'm too old to do meaningful work.
